Hello My Name Is...

Doug Baughman

This is my 2nd year teaching at Independence High School in the Physical Education department. I am a graduate of Idaho State University with a degree in Health and PE.  My goal at Independence High School is to teach kids how to become lifelong learners and give them the skills of living a healthier and better lifestyle.  I also want to give my students the opportunity to grow as a person in my class.  Students should leave my class with high self esteem and self efficacy. 

I was born and raised in Orange County, CA.  My wife and I decided to move to Arizona in November of 2006.  We currently have one son who is 9 months old and growing daily.  I look forward to working with all of my students and hope the same from them.  If there are ever any problems, questions, or concerns, please do not hesistate to call or email me.
