 Welcome everyone! My name is Zack Fountain and I am a social studies secondary education major with emphasis on history, political science, and geography. I am currently doing my student teaching at Vincent High School through MPS. My professional goals include getting a high school teaching job in southeastern Wisconsin upon graduation this spring. I coach three sports at West Bend East High in West Bend. These sports are football, hockey, and baseball. I hope to coach at a high school level or above for many years to come. I enjoy getting to know my students and take pride in relating to them in a classroom and personal setting. I look forward to getting to know everyone more throughout the semester!
