About Me

Hello,

 

My name is Joel Chase.

This is my 17th year teaching in the Highland School District. I taught PE at the elementary for 11 years, then moved to middle school PE in 2021. I am also one of the track coaches and mainly work with the jumping events. 

I hold two bachelors degrees from Black Hills State University (96'-03'), located in Spearfish, SD., and I completed my Master degree from UNC in 2020. 

I am married and have two children. My daughter graduated from Highland in 2026 and my son is a freshman this year. 

I enjoy lifting weights and fitness, I am certified throught the National Strength and Conditioning Association as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and I love teaching these components to others.

I enjoy fishing, hiking and camping. and a variety of sports, baseball being my favorite.  I enjoy working with wood, which I have turned into a small side business.

 

I am looking forward to another great year.

 

See you in the gym
