About Jerry Gaines

A PASSIONATE STORY TELLER

Dr. Jerry Gaines, a life-long educator, began his career in 1972 at

Western Branch High School in Chesapeake, Virginia where he taught and

coached for twenty-one years. He spent the next fifteen years as a high

school assistant principal (three at the Chesapeake Center for Science and

Technology, and twelve at Great Bridge High). He completed the last three

years of his career as a Central Office Supervisor.


After retiring as an educator, Dr. Gaines traveled the country sharing a

very profound message where he claims, “a million kids taught HIM.” As a

tribute to those many lives that he has touched, he has written a book entitled

“40 Stories High” – a selection of short stories recounting some of his most

moving experiences teaching, coaching, and mentoring.


More recently, Dr. Gaines tries to keep his speaking engagements

within a short drive from his home. He still gets out his fishing rods as much

as possible, often accompanied by former students who just need a bit of

“Gaines Time”! His greatest joy is his granddaughters, and he delights in

being a part of their lives.

"This is the world, and this is you. Once you have a better grasp of who you are, and a clearer understanding of the workings of the world, what changes will you (can you) make during your lifetime in order to have the most positive impact?"
