Mr. Drayton is a new teacher at Vallivue High School. He teaches a plethora of subjects including health, weights and boys PE. He explains that this is his second year teaching and before teaching at Vallivue, he taught English in Dayton, Texas at Woodrow Wilson Middle School.
Drayton enjoys his job but he also likes to do other things outside of school. For example, he enjoys fishing. Drayton says, “Being that I just moved to Idaho, I hear that there’s a lot of fishing opportunities here.” He looks forward to exploring all that Idaho has to offer for outdoor activities. Drayton also likes to watch sports. He says his favorite sport to watch is football even though he is a basketball guy.
Drayton also played college basketball. It makes sense that he went into teaching health, weights, and PE. He explains that he wanted to get into teaching because he wanted to make an impact on students. He says “…in the last two or so years I feel like I’ve done that, or I’ve been doing that…” This is great news for our student body because he is a teacher who really cares about what he is doing for the students. “I feel like teaching is such a rewarding career because you do see that impact that you make on those young lives,” Drayton explains.
