Physical Education

Coach McPhillips

Hello!  My name is Joseph McPhillips. I am so honored to begin my 17th year teaching Physical Education at Cullman City Schools. I feel I have the best job in the world because I get to interact with young students and teach them real world skills through sports.  The life lessons that I have gone through are what motivates me to educate all my students to prepare them for lifelong success.  I received my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Master’s degree in Educational Leadership all from The University of Alabama.  I am also a Football Coach in the Cullman City School System and cherish the memories and relationships made throughout my time coaching student-athletes.

I am married to my best friend, Tracie McPhillips, who is also a PE Teacher at Cullman Middle School.  We live here in Cullman and have two beautiful kids, Ryleigh (12) and Dyson (9).  In my spare time, I love being with my family and friends, going to the beach, playing golf and watching any and all sports, but especially Alabama Football.  Roll Tide!

Hi, my name is Coach Hayes!  I have had the privilege of teaching PE for 25 years! This will begin my 26th year!  I  taught and coached 5 years in the Vestavia Hills School System where I also coached Cross Country, Track, Football and Basketball.  I have taught and Coached 20 years in the Cullman City Schools System.  I have coached many different sports in my time at Cullman but the main sports have been Basketball and Golf.  Quick highlights of coaching at Cullman: In 7 years as the Varsity Girls Basketball Coach, thanks to my incredible staff and athletes we accrued 121 wins!  With the 2012 team reaching Elite 8 and setting the girls all time school record for wins with 28!  We went 6 out of 7 years to the playoffs reaching the Sweet 16 3 times and Elite 8 once.  In Golf we have individuals and teams reach the State Tournament (where they only take the top 4 teams) multiple times! 

I've been married to my wife Kelly Hayes (a teacher at West Elementary for 26 years!  We have 2 children; our oldest son is in the Marines and our daughter is a freshman at CHS!
