Coach Jason Weidert

Coach Weidert has been teaching for seven years. He has taught Civics and World History. He is also Newnan High School's soccer coach.

Coach Weidert was living in Atlanta and Mr. Green found out that he played soccer and interviewed him. He was offered a position as a history teacher. He needed a job, and he recalls that the people seemed nice so he took it.

Coach Weidert chose to teach history because he says he has always loved history. He teaches World History and said that his reason for choosing to do so is he can teach and discuss a variety of different cultures and people. History was Coach Weidert's favorite subject in school. He says, "I have always loved history."

Coach Weidert has played soccer his whole life so it is no surprise that he is our head soccer coach. He played in college and enjoyed it immensely.

When asked if there was an interesting or little known fact about him he would like to share, Coach Weidert revealed something I personally would never have guessed. He enjoys writing poems and short stories.
