After this season, Ken Hosier will be stepping down as Head Coach of our men’s basketball program.
Ken has accepted an expanded role as chair of our growing science department. He will continue to work closely with upper school instructor Sarah Westcott to develop and implement a comprehensive K-6 science curriculum for our grammar school. Ken is also in the process of becoming one of our own master teachers, a designation that includes mentoring and advising fellow teachers. In addition, as one of the finest science instructors within the growing classical Christian movement, we plan for him to join the Alcuin Society of Fellows where he can continue to share his expertise nationally. Lastly, we will continue to support him as he pursues an M.S. or a PhD in Chemistry.
Ken has taken our athletic program from its very beginnings—the years in our old Garden City carpeted gym
—all the way to the heights of the Idaho state tournament these last years. Under his guidance we are blessed to have one of the premier men’s programs in the entire state.
We would like to thank Ken for his twelve years of service to our basketball program and congratulate him on his expanded role and duties.

THE BROTHERHOOD & THE FIVE
“The Five” are the basketball team’s corporate priorities. These priorities were instituted by Coach Hosier, and represent our team’s loyalties listed in order of most important to least important.
- God: We are to glorify God in all that we do (1st Corinthians 10:31)
- Family: We represent our family above our friends and school
- School: The need for unity at our school is paramount
- Brotherhood: We play as a team and sharpen each other as iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17)
- Self: We are to be humble and have servant hearts in all things
FROM A STUDENT:
“Mr. Hosier has blessed my high school career throughout my years at Ambrose. Each year he devotes countless hours of his personal time to each of his students. He has been my mentor and teacher for six years now, and has coached me in basketball for four years.
Over the years, Mr Hosier has made me a wiser man. He has fed my passion for the sciences as my basketball coach, mentor and teacher. He has cultivated my understanding of hard work and selfless service while exemplifying Christ in all that he does. He is a wholly committed father, husband, mentor, teacher, coach and friend. The positive mark he has left on my life will never fade, and his example will remain in my memory always.”
