The Walnut Valley Unified School District Board of Trustees recently honored Diamond Bar High School tennis coach Tisa Shavers for being named the 2011 Coach of the Year by the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.

During the January 18 meeting, Shavers received a certificate of special recognition.

“She’s doing more than coaching by supporting the community in so many ways, and I’m proud to recognize her,” Larry Redinger, board president, said.

“Tisa’s a great all-around individual,” board member Cindy Ruiz said. “She supports Diamond Bar High and the school district, attending outside events on a regular basis.”

Shavers, who has worked at Diamond Bar High School for 12 years, was touched by the recognition.

“This award certainly means a lot to me,” she said. “I pride myself in representing this district and community, and really enjoy working with the kids.”
