About Our Instructors
Bob Campbell, Owner and Operator
410-708-4245
Upon graduating from St. Paul's School For Boys in Baltimore County in 1961, Bob went on to Mars Hill College outside of Ashville, North Carolina for four years. He introduced the PE department to lacrosse and ran an intramural program for two years. After graduating from Mars Hill, Bob obtained a teaching position in Queen Anne's County at Crumpton Elementary School.
In 1966 he was transferred to Kennard and then on to Centreville Middle School and remained there until he retired in 2005.
In 1967 Bob introduced lacrosse to Queen Anne's County High School. The only spring sports offered back then were softball and baseball. It didn't take long before there were as many parents watching lacrosse games as there were baseball. Bob thoroughly enjoyed his 32 years coaching lacrosse and working with the parents and the administration. It is a father's dream to be able to coach their own children and he did. They went on from Queen Anne's and were successful playing the sport in college.
For the last 10 years as a teacher at Centreville Middle School, Bob also taught driver's education and behind the wheel for a company in Easton. When that company dissolved, Bob started Campbell's Driving School in 2005 and now has four employees.
Bob still enjoys working with the young people of the Mid-Shore and now it has to do with helping them earn their driver's license. He loves what he does and continues doing what he loves - working with young people.
