Meet the Coaches- Garza, Robinson, Hughes, Klaerner
Coach Tricia Hughes
This begins my 17th year at Austin High. I graduated from McCallum High School and attended St. Edward's University to play basketball. I majored in Kinesiology and minored in math. I teach both Pre-AP and On-level Algebra. I've been the head basketball coach since 2004, and prior to that, I was the head track coach for 2 years. Since being at Austin High, I've taught all levels of Algebra I, Pre-AP Geometry, and Pre-AP Algebra 2. I truly love Austin High.
My husband, Vernon, is the Offensive Coordinator at Del Valle High School and coaches the quarterbacks. We have a daughter, Kinsley Rae, born April 6, 2016. She brings so much joy and happiness to our lives. My mom and dad celebrated their 61st Anniversary in June. They have supported me as an athlete, and now as a coach. I am so blessed to have my parents attend the Lady Maroons Basketball games which they enjoy seeing all the action!
