What's better than two Peiricks? Three Peiricks! New Haven School District welcomes Austin Peirick for the 2019-2020 school year as the new middle and elementary school physical education teacher and middle school girls basketball coach.
Mr. Austin Peirick attended grade school at New Haven Elementary, then short years after that graduated from New Haven High School. During his four years of high school, he participated in boys basketball and baseball. After graduating high school, Mr. Peirick attended Southeast Missouri State University, earning a degree in education.
After college, Mr. Austin Peirick was the Beufert Elementary School physical education teacher, while also coaching middle school girls basketball at Union and assisting girls varsity basketball for three years. During those years, Mr. Austin Peirick moved backed to New Haven and married Julie Scheer.
Mr. Peirick was asked how he feels about working in the same school he went to, and like most teachers here, he mentioned, “I feel I have more of a connection with the students here just because it’s a smaller school. In Beufert, I had four hundred students that I had come through my door, so it was hard to make that same connection that I already have with my students here at New Haven. I don’t just want my students to know me on a teacher level, but something deeper than that.”
Mr. Austin Peirick said, “I know the standards that are set and I have my own sense of pride for them, knowing I grew up with those same ones. With that, I hope all of my students here do as well.”
Austin is the third Peirick to take a position here at New Haven. We all understand that working with your family can be tough, but he said, “Working with my dad and brother isn’t hard-- it makes it all easier. You always have a person to go to.”
We are very glad and very lucky to have another Peirick in our school teaching our students. We are also excited to have you back as a Shamrock, Mr. Peirick, and we hope you have a good year.
