Meet Coach Portley
Hello, I am Coach Portley. This is my 20th year teaching and my 8th year here at Pine Tree ISD. This year I am joining the CTE department at the high school teaching Counseling and Mental Health and Life Time Nutrition. As a coach my duties include freshmen football, Head Girl’s Powerlifting, Assistant Boy’s Powerlifting, and I currently serve as the secretary and board member for Texas High School Women’s Powerlifting Association. I am from Kilgore TX. And I attended Texas A&M Commerce where I graduated with my Bachelors of Science degree in education, and I recently received my Masters in Science in School Counseling from San Angelo State University in the spring of 2023. My wife Lori is on her 2nd year (7th year total) here in PTISD teaching Biology and coaching cheer at the high school. I have two daughters, Adrian (25) and Dominque (27), two stepchildren, Grayson (17) and Addyson (13), and a grandbaby, Raven (2). I’m excited to see what this season holds….GO PIRATES.
