Tenaha ISD Honors Passing of Coach Bodden

April 9, 2025 - In Loving Memory of Coach Todd Bodden Our school district and community are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Coach Todd Bodden. A dedicated educator, mentor, and coach, Coach Bodden spent 17 impactful years with us, shaping the lives of countless students with his tough love, honesty, and unwavering commitment to their success.

Coach Bodden never sugar coated the truth. He held his students and athletes to high standards, always pushing them to be their very best. Whether in the classroom or on the court, he expected hard work, integrity, and resilience. But beyond that, he made sure every student knew they were supported and cared for, long after graduation and even into his retirement.

The outpouring of love from former students, athletes, and colleagues speaks volumes. Coach Bodden was more than just a teacher or a coach. He was family to many. He left his mark not only on this district, but on the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Our thoughts are with his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest easy, Coach. Your legacy lives on in every student you inspired.
