On this page we will describe our background and philosophy.
Mr. Hughes - PE Teacher
Athletics and physical activity has always played an important role in my life from my younger days and even today. Through sports and physical education, I have not only learned the importance of a healthy active lifestyle, but I have also learned about the value of character and attitude.
Throughout my education, there have been many teachers and coaches who have left a lasting, positive impression on my life. I decided to become a teacher because it was a way for me to give back and leave a lasting, positive impression on the next generation of students. I wanted to teach Physical Education specifically because I enjoy helping children develop new movement skills that they can continue throughout their lifetime. I believe it is essential to teach students at a young age the importance of being physically fit and instill proper nutrition habits. Also the importance of maintaining this level of fitness and nutrition throughout their lives.
