Mr.
Jajuan Zolicoffer has been working at Messmer for one year. He is in charge
of the bookstore and is the head coach of the Boy's
JV Basketball Team.
Mr. Zolicoffer graduated
from Messmer High School in 2005. While he was a student here, he was on the
basketball, track, and football teams. Mr. Zolicoffer said, "It feels
great to work at my old high school. It gives you a sense of pride and
you feel like you are helping others who are on the same path." His
experience here at Messmer has been very good so far. He said, "The students and
teachers have been very delightful and helpful."
He also encounters
challenges with both his responsibilities. He has to keep a consistent number of
materials in the bookstore for the teachers, staff, and students. As a coach, Mr. Zolicoffer says it is always interesting "finding ways to make sure the boys take my
advice seriously, and keeping them disciplined."
Before he worked at Messmer, Mr. Zolicoffer worked at Delta Airlines in Atlanta,
Georgia. He is a great alum-turned-employee and the staff and students
are happy to welcome Mr. Zolicoffer back to the Messmer family!
