Mr. Jay Phillips
My name is Jay Phillips, and this is my 4th year teaching—my first year at NEDA. I graduated from East Carolina University with a degree in History and my teaching certification. I have previously taught high school U.S. History and was also the head wrestling and tennis coach. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy working outside and spending time with my wife and kids. I like cutting grass and doing yard work. I also strongly believe that Golden Corral is the greatest restaurant of all time.
