Mr. Leighton
My name is Cory Leighton and I am a member of the Student Support Services team. I am proud to be a founding member of Sage Creek where I have served as Student Support Services department chair and as athletic director. I began my career as a Special Education teacher in Brooklyn, New York, where I also taught Algebra and Economics and served on the Advisory Committee. My true entry into the world of Education took place on the soccer field. I have had the opportunity to coach some great teams at the high school and club level. I am looking forward to another great year at Sage Creek! Go BOBCATS!
