Due to the dense fog Fulton Schools will be closed today, November 18th. Please be safe.
We are excited to introduce Mr. Matt Koutz as our new School Success Mentor and Athletic Director. Matt has been working in education since earning his degree in elementary education from University of Phoenix in 2010. Most recently, he has worked as an elementary physical education teacher at Vestaburg Schools where he also coached middle school basketball. The thing he loves most about working with young people is watching them grow and develop.
Matt has always had a love of sports. He began coaching youth sports while he was still in high school when he was a volunteer coach. He has coached basketball, softball, baseball, football and even soccer at various levels. He also spent time as the assistant to the athletic director at Great Lakes Christian College.
In his personal life, he stays equally busy. He has been married to the love of his life Nicole for 28 years. They stay busy with their 6 children. They are also looking forward to welcoming their first grandchild this coming Spring.
Matt is most looking forward to meeting the Fulton community and sharing his passion for athletics and education with a new team. Plus, he has quietly admitted that he has always wanted to be a PIRATE! But then again who hasn’t. Matt is going to be a great addition to our team and we are excited to have him join us. Mr. Koutz first day on the job will be Monday, December 2nd. Please join us in welcoming him when you see him at an event, at school or out in the community.
