Hello, My Name Is...
Garret West

Hi Panda Family,
My name is Mr. West and I am super excited to be teaching 8th-grade wellness this year. I am entering my fourth year at Mesa Middle School. Before coming to Mesa, I spent two years at Sage Canyon Elementary & one year at Rock Ridge Elementary.
A little about me, I grew up in Castle Rock and graduated from Douglas County High School back in 2011. I went on to the University of Northern Colorado to get my bachelor's in Sports & Exercise Science and during that time I interned with the UNC football team for 4 seasons. Currently, I coach football at Chaparral High School & also coach basketball at DCHS as the head freshman boys coach. I am also the head 7th-grade boys basketball coach here at Mesa.
My goal this year is for students to better understand the different dynamics of living a healthy lifestyle & the many options that physical activity has to offer. I look forward to meeting every one of you.
Can't wait to get things rolling!
Mr. West
