Welcome to the Jeter Family, Coach Weiss! 🐾
Hello, Jaguars! My name is Derrick Weiss, but you can call me Coach Weiss. I am thrilled to join the Don Jeter Elementary family as your new Physical Education Teacher!
Here is a little bit about me:
My Background: I'm originally from Wisconsin and graduated from Winona State University. Before teaching, I was a Sports Performance Coach specializing in speed, agility, and strength training. I bring that same passion for discipline and movement into the gym every day.
New to Alvin: After living in the Houston area for years, I recently married my wife and moved from Cypress to Alvin. We love this community and are so excited to plant our roots here!
Outside the Gym: I love anything outdoors—hunting, fishing, and golfing. I am a die-hard fan of the Green Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers, Milwaukee Brewers, and Milwaukee Bucks. On weekends, you'll find me at the ball fields cheering on my kids in select baseball and softball.
My Experience: I have four years of PE experience and love building programs. In the past, I've launched school golf, baseball, and bowling teams. I can't wait to see what new athletic opportunities we can bring to Don Jeter!
My goal is simple: to inspire a lifelong love of fitness, teamwork, and healthy living in every Jaguar I coach. Let's have an amazing school year!
Go Jaguars! 🐆
