Welcome Wolverines!!

My name is Mr. Lock and I am the Health Science I & Health Science II teacher at West Cabarrus High School. I am new to North Carolina but not to healthcare or to teaching health science students. My family moved here after my wife completed her Internal Medicine Residency at Mississippi State University's College of Veterinary Medicine (She is a great resource for you future veterinarians). My bachlor's degree is in athletic training from Troy University and a Master's of Science/Teaching from Mississippi State University. I have many years of experience working in sports medicine as a certified athletic trainer in college athletics at Auburn University, Mississippi State University, and East Mississippi Community College. I have also worked as a health science teacher and athletic trainer in high school settings at Helena High School in Birmingham, AL and Choctaw County High School in Ackerman, MS. Currently in my spare time I work as a PRN atheltic trainer with Atrium Health's Event Medicine Team providing medical care to people in the Charlotte Metro area at different events from Carolina Panther games to 5K community runs. I have a passion for helping others and especially for helping young people who are finding their path to become Future Healthcare Professionals!!

My wife's name is Dr. Katie Lock and we have a one year old son John Grady. We love to hike, BBQ, watch Braves baseball, Mississippi State football, and play with our two dogs Tank and Nala.
