One of the Mill’s new teachers, Charlemagne Gibbons, has joined the athletic department and basketball team. He has spent the last 20 years coaching at Florida Atlantic University and decided to come to Georgia to coach for Starr’s Mill. As well as being a collegiate level coach, he coached at a Division I school, adding even more prestige to his experience.

Gibbons was a basketball player all throughout high school and college as well as having a father who coached basketball. He always had his mind set on becoming a coach as well.

He is leaving many things behind, but Georgia has many advantages. ”I have a lot of family in the area, and when we were in South Florida my kids were a long way away,” Gibbons said. “My daughters play a lot of soccer and [Georgia] is one of the best areas out.”

After being a college level coach he decided to come to Georgia for two different reasons. Being a coach at college level involved a huge amount of traveling meaning Gibbons did not have time with his family.
