David Farris has been teaching for 12 years and successfully running the Success 101 program at Desert Hot Springs High School for the last six. As the lead of the technology department, he is always looking for new innovative ways to reach struggling students, including development of a teen mentoring program that is taking off. David’s experience as a student-athlete at Cal Poly Pomona provided valuable preparation for teaching and for his position as Desert Hot Springs’ head baseball coach.
