Welcome to Physical Education!

My name is Ryan Kartos and I am the newest addition to the physical education department in Poynette. I will be splitting my time between the Poynette Elementary, Middle, and High Schools. Physical education is a literal gold mine for mental, emotional, and physical success and I hope to convey my passion for it to parents and students alike.

I grew up and went to school in North Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Madison was my home during college as I attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Go Badgers!). This year will start my fifth year as a full time teacher. I spent my past four years teaching physical education and health at Columbus Middle School. Along with teaching I also coached girls basketball and middle school track. If all of that wasn't enough I gladly took on the opportunity to work as the athletic director at Columbus Middle School.

When I am not teaching I am usually spending time with my wife and my 2 year old son. We love to watch and play all sorts of sports/activities, listen to music, watch good TV and movies, and stay busy. I look forward to getting to know everyone in the district and community while helping all of my students reach their physical activity goals!
