He has also worked with many North Texas programs, including Legacy High School, McKinney High School, Aledo High School, Hebron High School, Azle High School, and Lakeview Centennial High School.

Alongside his performance and teaching career, Wesley earned his certification in secondary dance and mathematics. He is currently the Guard Director and a Mathematics Teacher at Plano East Senior High School, an instructor for MPE, and is pursuing a master’s degree in mathematics education with dual credit certification.

Wesley is excited to continue his journey this summer with the Blue Stars!
