Each week, we're featuring a staff member to help you get to know the amazing people who make De Soto High School such a special place. This week is Jordan Lietz, Physical Education, Health Education, and Adapted Physical Education teacher at Middle & High School and Assistant football coach.
🏴☠️ He is in his second year of teaching here at the middle/high school
🏴☠️ He is originally from Edgerton WI, a small town just south of Madison.
🏴☠️He currently has no family of my own but is the youngest of three siblings. He has a sister and a brother. Both of his parents were teachers and his sister is in her 5th year of teaching. His brother lives out in California as a project manager.
🏴☠️ When he's not in school he really enjoy being active and getting exercise. Additionally, hunting, fishing, and taking trips to his family cabin are also some of his favorite hobbies.
🏴☠️ A fun fact about him, he used to sport long hair and a mullet in his college days.
🏴☠️When asked what excites him most about De Soto, Jordan says the thing that excites me the most about being at De Soto is the comradery that comes with being a part of this staff. Everyone has been very welcoming and it makes it very fun to come to work every day.
