Jim Goodrum

Many of the fondest Christ School memories are made during the weekends and evenings.

Jim Goodrum seeks out the best arts, entertainment, and dining for the boys in his position as Director of Student Engagement and Summer Programs. Asheville attracts 12 million tourists annually, so options are abundant, but Greenies have also taken trips to Charlotte, Greenville, S.C., and Knoxville, Tenn.

Mr. Goodrum coached the Middle School basketball team to an 11-3 record last season. 

Even though he is a Georgia native, Mr. Goodrum spent much of his childhood going to the Falling Creek Summer Camp for boys in Tuxedo, N.C. He later worked at the camp as an activity leader, program director, and staffing director. 

Mr. Goodrum attended Mercer University, earning a B.A. in History. He returned to his college alma mater in 2002, serving as Assistant Director of Admissions and Recreational Sports and Wellness. Most recently, Mr. Goodrum was in charge of student enrichment and summer programming at Carolina Day School.   

Mr. Goodrum and his wife, Kristi, have a son, Thompson, and a daughter, Alice.
