Howdy, i am Lawrence Diaz.  I was born and raised in Abilene and attended Jane Long Elementary, Mann Jr High, and Abilene High.  i was involved in sports (football, baseball, and tennis) with tennis being my sport of choice.  I attended Texas Tech University with a major in Exercise Sport Science with Biology emphasis and played tennis.  i graduated with a Bachelor of Science.  My career started at Estacado High School in Lubbock, TX where i taught biology and was the head tennis coach.  I then traveled to Round Rock TX to open a new high school, Stony Point, where again i taught biology and was the head tennis coach.  After my years in Round Rock, i decided to teach on the coast and joined the staff at Ball High School in Galveston, TX.  I taught biology and was the head tennis coach again.  My experiences with different types of students and staff added to my overall experience. This has now brought me full circle and back to Abilene.  Unfortunately, it was not under good circumstances as moved back to help my family with my fathers health.  The good part is that i was able to return to my former jr high which is now Mann Middle School.  i have been at Mann since 2012.  I currently teach 7th science, PE, and athletics.  Every year i look forward to having a positive impact on my students and athletes.  Thank you.
