Letʼs Welcome New Middle School Physical Education Teacher, Mr. Alan Joyner!
My name is Alan Joyner, and I am the new Middle School Physical Education and Weights teacher. I also coach high school boys basketball. I’ve spent time subbing in the district, so I’ve already had the opportunity to get to know many of the students and staff. My wife, Lindsey, has been in education for nearly 20 years, and we have two daughters, Lillian and Violet. I’ve spent much of my career in fitness, coaching, and owning a gym, and I’m excited to bring those experiences into the classroom.
