Rick Baker is the Physical Education teacher at St. Therese.  He believes that P.E. not only stands for Physical Education time, but also for Pretty Exciting time.  He incorporates this philosophy into the daily activities that occur during his class time.  He believes that children are truly worth it and deserve the best that can be offered to them, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. 

                Mr. Baker is entering his 26^th year of education.  During that time he has served students from Kindergarten through High School.  In addition to P.E. he has taught in the classroom, coached Basketball, Baseball, and Track at the High School level and most recently served five years as the Principal of LaJunta Intermediate School.  Mr. Baker believes his gift is to serve and support, and he enjoys doing this for the students and staff of St. Therese Catholic School.
