Justin will be teaching two elective classes at LMS and the remainder of his day will be fulfilling administrative duties as the Assistant Principal. We asked Mr. Johnson to give a brief bio of himself and here is what he said.
"Hello, I am Justin Johnson. I am currently in my 14th year in education which includes 2 years as a paraprofessional and 12 years as a classroom teacher. The last 5 years have been in the MV-BT school district. I am a lifelong resident of Shannon County and a 2005 graduate of MV-BT. I currently live in Montier with my wife Kay-Lee, son Jase, and my daughter Asher. Youth sports, hunting, and the family farm keep me busy when not at school. I look forward to this new position and opportunity."
Join us in welcoming Mr. Justin Johnson to his new position within the district!
