Hey! (These things are always awkward to start) My name is Johnny Garrison and i'm your U.S. History Teacher! This will be my fourth year teaching at Westlake High School where I have taught Physical Education, U.S. History, and World History. I graduated from BYU in 2015 where I received a Bachelors in Physical Education and a minor in History Teaching. During my time at BYU I also worked for the football team as the Head Student Equipment Manager for two seasons.
I am currently overseeing Westlake's Student Council as the Advisor to the Student Body Presidency and overall Advisor to the council. Before working on student council, I was a coach on the varsity football team staff serving as the Defensive Back/Safety coach here at Westlake and at Bingham High school during their 2014 championship season.
Originally from Northern California, I grew up playing Baseball, Football, Soccer, and Swimming. I have a wonderful family conisisting of my awesome wife of 8 years Bethanie and our two children Mazi, 4, and Jeter, 6 months. In my free time I love exploring the outdoors, exercising, reading, and being awesome at trivia (no joke, i'm pretty good!)
I'm excited to get to know all about you during our "Student Spotlight" moments we'll have at the beginning of every class. These aren't just for me though, your classmates will have a chance to get to know you and in return you'll learn more about them!
