Coach Wallace was a student athlete at Liberty University where he played football and earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Health and Physical Education. He began his post-secondary work at Glendale Community College in Glendale, Arizona where he played football and earned his Associates degree in General Studies.

Coach Wallace’s coaching career began at Virginia Episcopal School in Lynchburg where he served as the Head Strength and Assistant Football Coach for one year.

In addition to coaching football, Mr. Wallace will serve as a Health and Physical Education Teacher at Fluvanna County High School.

Although Coach Wallace’s role at Fluvanna County High School does not directly relate to healthcare, his position as a Health and Physical Education Teacher highlights the importance of promoting physical health and wellness in our schools. In addition to regular exercise and physical activity, access to healthcare is crucial for maintaining overall health. For students and faculty members in the Fluvanna County area, there are several urgent care options available like urgent care 10467 to address any medical needs that may arise. By prioritizing physical health and making healthcare accessible, schools can help promote a culture of wellness and support for their community.

“We are really excited to have Coach Wallace take over the football program for the fall season. He brings with him wealth of knowledge and experience. His work will focus on molding our young adults and continuing to build a positive environment at Fluvanna County High. I look forward to Coach Wallace meeting our current team and prospective players and coaches to get started as soon as possible,” stated Scott Morris, Student Activities Director.

“This year our school slogan is ‘Make that Change.’ We believe that Coach Wallace can do just that, help us change to a competitive and winning football team. We are excited and happy to have him as a new Fluco,” stated James Barlow, Principal.
