John Mc Gaha

P.E. Department Chair

John McGaha graduated from Pitzer College in Claremont., CA in 1992 with a B.A. in History. He received his California Teaching Credential from Cal Poly Pomona and taught Special Education for five years at Palomares Middle School. Following his passion for sports and exercise, Coach McGaha earned his Physical Education credential by passing the required exams and was the Physical Education Department Head and Athletic Coordinator at Palomares for six years. Always up for a new challenge, Coach McGaha decided to transfer to Ganesha five years ago so he could work with more mature students and coach a varsity volleyball program. This is his first year as Ganesha's Physical Education Department Head and he is looking forward to working with his colleagues to improve the physical fitness of our students. He currently teaches Team Sports, Volleyball, Tennis, and Weight Conditioning. Coach McGaha is also the head varsity girls volleyball coach, jv girls soccer coach, jv boys tennis coach, and is the founder and Director of Starlings Pomona Volleyball Club. He is currently attending Concordia University in the Masters of Coaching and Athletic Administration program.

He has lived in Spain and Israel for one year each and is a competent Spanish speaker.

Coach McGaha lives in Pomona with Sharon, his loving wife of eleven years who is also a volleyball coach, and their two dogs Marley and Petey. When not coaching, which is rare, he enjoys hiking, jogging with his dogs, swimming, and enjoying culinary delights. Please feel free to contact him with any questions/concerns you may have regarding Physical Education or Athletics.
