Welcome!"One Cannot Not Communicate" |
A Little About Myself...My name is Mr. Hurlbut (Mr. H. or Coach H.) and I am excited to be here at McKinney North High School serving students and parents in the lifelong process of education. I have lived in McKinney for over 11 years and have a lovely wife and 2 beautiful girls. I am passionate about education and especially the study of Communications.
My educational background started upon graduating from Carrollton Newman Smith High School. I attended the University of North Texas and graduated with a with a B.A. in Communication Studies. I also have a Th.M. (Master's of Theology) from Dallas Theological Seminary. My professional experience has extended into work with faith-based nonprofits and teaching outside the traditional classroom. I have founded and still direct a nonprofit that exists to facilitate emerging leadership development in local churches and beyond in specific collaborative areas. I enjoy 'working' on communication with message and lesson preparation for audience engagement. |
Why Communications?My very first communications professor in college walked into the room and bellowed out, "One cannot not communicate." Throughout the course of my studies I became fascinated with how much of our life consists of communicative acts - messages, signals, signs, and words; both verbal and nonverbal, coming together to reach a shared understanding by creating meaning. I invite you to join in this study to see how vast the discipline of communication is, and how mastery of it will give you success in relationships and in your future career.
