Heather Greer is a Splendora High School Class of 2004 graduate. After high school, Heather received her Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Training from East Texas Baptist University, a Master of Science degree in Health and Human Performance with an emphasis on Sport Administration from Northwestern State University, and is currently completing coursework for her Doctorate of Athletic Training degree from A.T. Still University of Health Sciences. She is in her 7th year as an athletic trainer for Galveston Independent School District. When asked why she chose this field Heather replied, “The only reason I am in this profession is because of Travis “Doc” Jones. He helped me recover from an ankle injury my sophomore year in high school and showed me what the profession was really about. I had never even considered going to school to be an athletic trainer until his compassion and hard work showed me how I could help future student-athletes just as he had helped me. He made a huge
difference in my life that would change the course of my future without even realizing it.”

When asked what does it mean to be a SHS Wildcat? “Being a Wildcat means striving to be the best. Not needing to be better than everyone else, but trying. That’s where character comes from, it’s in the trying. All of my coaches and teachers taught me this and I am proud to be a Splendora Wildcat!”

That feeling makes me proud to forever be a Wildcat.”

A sign in the football program’s facility read, Adversity is not Defeat. This attitude has stuck with me since. Being part of a small, close-knit community and school was influential in shaping me into the man I am today. I cannot thank the teaching, coaching, and administrative staff enough for providing an excellent learning environment, which was the foundation of my future studies and success.”
