Paul Criswell honored by Dons
Paul Criswell has been a mainstay of Coronado High School for more than 27 years. He started working in the district in 1982 as a bus driver, and worked his way to carpenter. “He’s a doer; if you needed something hung, if you needed something fixed, he’d get it done,” says Nathan Slater, Athletic director at Coronado.
In his time on campus, he saw his own two sons, Mike and Jeff, matriculate from the school.
He worked as film specialist for football games in the late 1980s. Criswell also has been a big part of the community, volunteering to coach baseball at South Scottsdale Little League and Pop Warner Football, even coaching some of Coronado’s coaches as young men.
“He was my baseball coach when I was 13 years old, with Scottsdale Little League,” Slater recalls.
Coronado recently thanked Criswell for everything that he has done for the school for almost three decades. He was given a special recognition during the halftime break at the Sept. 12 Dons’ home game. He was presented with an Appreciation Award by Slater, along with former Coronado Athletic Directors Joe Corte and Jim Ferrando, Fine Arts Department Chair Irma Griffin, and Principal John Biera. |
