Payton Duff has been teaching Health and Physical Education for the past 4 years earning her Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology with a K-12 teacher’s certificate and a minor degree in performance psychology from Pacific Lutheran University. In Duff’s classes, Physical Education is taught through the lens of how to plan for a physically active lifestyle through constant reflection, skills-based activities that evolve into pick-up games, and working with others to improve on similar goals. Duff strives to create a learning environment where students feel safe enough to make mistakes without being judged or made fun of as she believes everybody is in athlete in their own way and that everyone can find success being physically active.

I am part of the special education team, supporting students' communication needs. I have been with SPS since 2019.
