Hello! My name is Colleen Schmidt!
I am a Health and Physical Education Teacher and Assistant Cross Country Coach. I earned my degree in Health and Physical Education from West Chester University of Pennsylvania, where I also played Women’s Rugby.
My love of athletics began in high school, where I was a three-season distance runner, competing in cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track. Those experiences taught me the importance of perseverance, teamwork, discipline, and setting goals—values I continue to share with my children, students and athletes.
As a teacher and coach, my goal is to create a positive and inclusive environment where students feel supported, build confidence, and develop healthy habits that last a lifetime. I especially enjoy helping students discover that success comes from effort, growth, and believing in themselves.
-----------------------------------------------------------
During the 2026-2027 school year, I will be teaching 11th and 12th grade Health and P.E.
If you would like to speak or meet with me, I am available from 2:15 pm - 2:40 pm on days when school is in session. I can also be reached via email 24/7.
