COYLE GRADUATES CONTINUE TO IMPRESS: This is Zachariah Birdwell, I wanted to give kind of a life/career update since graduation in 2017. Since I graduated, I joined the Army in 2019 and became an 11b Infantryman. I was stationed in Fort Hood, Texas for my first 5 years in. While at Fort Hood, I earned multiple awards and skill badges. I am now in my 6th year and stationed in Fort Drum, New York. I am now a 25H Network Communications Specialist. I feel that there were very many role models I had that were either teachers or coaches that helped me push through and got me where I am today. I am so happy I spent my younger years at Coyle and grew up in that small community.
