Bio: For nearly 40 years Lurone Jennings has been called “Coach” – first in athletics and then in life as executive director of The Bethlehem Center. In addition to an 18-year career in public education – including serving as principal of his alma mater, Howard High School – Jennings adds Methodist minister, associate publisher, author and leadership coach to his lengthy resume. But the job title he enjoys most is “father” – whether it’s to his three children with wife, Glinda, his four grandchildren or the thousands of young people he’s mentored.
