I was born and raised in the Lehigh Valley. My K-12 academics were completed in the East Penn School District. Following my time at Emmaus High School, I chose to continue my education at Slippery Rock University. In May 2008, I received my bachelors degree in Health and Physical Education. I spent my first year of teaching at Harrison-Morton Middle School. After my first year at HMMS, I continued my career at Springhouse Middle School. I have been at SMS since the 2009-2010 school year.
With my time away from school I enjoy spending time with my wife and three children. Depending on the season, I can be found at a variety of locations. With my summer vacation, I am always outside swimming, running, or venturing to parks. With a strong interest in wellness & fitness, I hope to inspire students to maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me eckhoffk@parklandsd.org. I am looking forward to another great school year!
