Mr. Erick Fierro
Hey there!
I'm Erick Fierro, and I'm proud to be the Head Wrestling Coach at Maricopa High School. Arizona has always been my home; I was born and raised here in Maricopa, and it's been an incredible journey so far.
I had an amazing time at Maricopa High School, and I graduated with the class of 2002. After school, I followed my passion for cars and decided to pursue automotive coursework at Gateway Community College. Those were some thrilling years, and I gained valuable skills that would shape my future in unexpected ways.
For eight years, I worked as a technician at a reputable Toyota dealership, and it was a fantastic experience. I learned the importance of hard work, attention to detail, and critical problem-solving – all skills that have been invaluable in my life.
But as much as I loved the automotive industry, my heart was pulling me in a different direction. I've always had a deep desire to make a positive impact on young lives and contribute to my community. So, I decided to follow my heart and transitioned into the field of education.
Becoming a teacher was one of the best decisions I've ever made. It allowed me to bring real-world relevance into the classroom and connect with students on a deeper level. Beyond teaching, I found a true passion for coaching various sports. My coaching journey eventually led me to the position I hold today – Head Wrestling Coach.
In this role, I get to work with some amazing young athletes. Wrestling isn't just a sport to me; it's a platform to teach life skills like discipline, resilience, and teamwork. I believe in nurturing not only their athletic abilities but also their personal growth as individuals.
Being a part of this school and community is an honor, and I'm excited to continue empowering the youth of Maricopa to achieve their dreams and become the leaders of tomorrow. Together, we'll build a strong wrestling program and create memories that last a lifetime. Let's go team!
