Taylor Wright always thought that by now he’d be coaching the Dallas Cowboys. But today, he is an elementary physical education teacher at Ridge View Elementary in Herriman, Utah. As a nationally certified physical education teacher with a background in coaching football at the middle school, high school and college level, Wright is not a typical elementary school PE teacher. Most local elementary PE programs are run by regular classroom teachers or aides.
Ridge View Elementary Principal Meredith Doleac said Wright is more than just a qualified PE teacher.
