 About MeMinimize

Hello.  I am Michael Rowe.  This is my seventh year teaching Physical Education and Bully Proofing at Carl Sandburg, and I am having a blast.

I have been teaching since 1998, after I graduated with a degree in Exercise and Sports Science from Colorado State University (Go Rams!!!)  I have taught both elementary and high school, and I have to say, I enjoy the youngsters at Sandburg the most.

Besides teaching, I coach baseball at Englewood High School.  This will be my fourth year as the head coach.  Before I moved to Englewood, I was an assistant at Littleton High School for nine seasons.   On top of my teaching and coach responsibilities, I serve as the district chairperson for elementary physical education.  I also am currently in graduate school at the University of Colorado in Denver studying for a Master's in English as a Second Language.
