Coach Michelle Van Dyke Gymnasium

Coach Michelle Van Dyke graduated from East Texas Baptist University in 1988 after a Hall of Fame college basketball career with the Lady Tigers. After graduation she took her first teaching position as a Physical Education coach at Robert E. Lee Elementary, where she served Marshall students for five years.

She then became the P.E. teacher at J.H. Moore Elementary following her time at Lee, and she served in that capacity for the next 24 years until J.H. Moore closed due to the opening of the new Price T. Young Elementary in 2017.

As of the opening of the new PTY, Coach Van Dyke had taught P.E. in Marshall ISD for nearly 30 years and was continuing to do so with the opening of the Legacy 2017 schools. During that time she touched the lives of countless Marshall children at both Moore and Lee schools, displaying a commitment and genuine love for children and their well-being as much as anyone who ever served the students of Marshall ISD.
