About Me (optional)

• Hi! My name is Miguel Simón. I grew up in Washington, attended university in Portland, OR. Sports have been a huge part of my life, I did Judo and Wrestling growing up as a kid and was lucky enough to wrestle at the university and senior international level. Traveling is huge for me. So is eating new types of food.

I’ve been teaching since 2018. I first started teaching English Language Arts before I moved to Physical Education. I’ve been lucky to teach in some amazing places, my first official teaching position was in Quito, Ecuador. I made my way back to our beautiful Portland city where I landed in the David Douglas School District for the last several years. I couldn’t be happier being a Floyd Light Falcon!
