Welcome to MPA, Damon George! Damon started as a Middle and Upper School health and physical education teacher on August 14, and we are so excited to introduce him to our community!
From what school/organization are you coming?
I previously worked at Hiawatha Collegiate High School.
Tell us about your education and past experience.
I graduated from Fridley High School in 2011. I then attended Bethel University for two years, where I played baseball. I followed that by attended Concordia University, St. Paul, for three years to receive my Bachelor of Arts in kinesiology and health sciences. I also played football for Concordia.
What did you find appealing about MPA?
The families being invested into their students education is something I’m looking forward to. Most of my experience has been in public schools, which has most of the time, lead to the educators being more invested than the parents. I’m very excited to see the dynamic and the commitment to success.
What lasting impact do you plan to have on MPA?
Creating positive change. Forever a glass half-full kind of human, that will always see the optimism and beauty of life. I pour my heart and soul into my students and their lives and my goal for lasting impact is to motivate them to be great.
What’s your big dream?
My big dream is to be a leader and host a championship-level team. I recognize the value of student-athletes and how sports and activities can change the dynamic of education.
What are you and your family passionate about?
I am absolutely passionate about sports and activities. So much of life is about creating a lifestyle that meets your needs and helps contribute to purpose. Finding something to be involved in can truly bridge success and teach important values.
What’s a fun fact about you that our community would love to know?
I love to snowboard and I look forward to traveling more of the world and conquering more mountains.
