We’re PAW-sitively Thrilled to Welcome Robert Engel to GHCDS!
Please join us in welcoming Mr. Robert Engel, our new Upper School Physical Education Teacher, to the Panther family!
Mr. Engel brings an incredible range of experience to GHCDS, with 24 years in education as both a middle and high school teacher and an administrator at the high school and university levels—including experience at international boarding schools.
Before his career in education, Mr. Engel was a professional basketball player, competing in the NBA Summer League and professionally in Europe. He later brought that experience to the sidelines as a coach for high school, amateur, and professional teams, earning five championship titles along the way.
A dual citizen of the United States and Italy, Mr. Engel is fluent in Italian and conversational in German. His international experience also extends beyond education and athletics—he has worked as a leadership and business coach with clients around the world.
When he’s not teaching or coaching, you might find him reading and writing, exploring philosophy, behind a camera, traveling, or continuing his quest to discover great beaches around the world.
