About the Coach

NAME: Glen Newsom

CLASS: English IV

SCHOOL PHONE: 281-482-3413


This is my 16th year teaching and coaching, my second in Friendswood and I 
am more than excited to be here in such an acclaimed and successful district. 
Go MUSTANGS !!!

In my career I have taught English at several grade levels, have served as a 
lead teacher, academic coordinator and department head; and have coached 
baseball, football, basketball and golf on the varsity level. 

I received my BA from UHCL, double majoring in English & Political Science and
earned my Masters in Educational Administration from Lamar University.  

I have been married to my wife Suzanne for 24 years and have three children: 
Brittany (23), Spencer (21) and Nick (20) and one new grandson, A.J., who
Brittany gave birth to back on July 29th. In addition to being a proud
grandpa, I am an avid reader, a big fan of the theatre, a golfer, and the
biggest Houston Texans fan around.

I firmly believe that it is a privilege and an honor to be able to teach; to 
coach; to impact the lives of so many young people and now I get to do this 
in the best school district in the state. I am so excited and proud to be a 
part of Mustang Nation !!!
