My name is Dustin Haley and I'm excited to start another year here at Thomas Jefferson Middle School!
First things first, I would like to tell you a little bit about me so you can get to know me better. I grew up in a small rural area near Centralia, Missouri where I attended Centralia High School. While I was a student there I stayed active in many ways, lettering in baseball and football, playing the saxaphone in band, and participating in Art Club and FCA. After graduating, I went on to persue my undergraduate studies at Culver-Stockton College. As a student athlete at Culver-Stockton I continued to balance my love for the arts with one of my favorite sports, football. The discipline and hard work that I learned on the field is a quality I strive to instill in my students so that they can experience success within the classroom, and in life.
As far as family goes, I have four kiddos, a grandkiddo, and a beautiful wife who I love to spend time with when I'm away from school. I also enjoy spending my time creating my own artwork, staying active at the local YMCA, and watching my favorite teams - the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Well enough about me, I can't wait to jump right in and learn more about who you are as we create an amazing classroom experience together!
