Sione Makoni | PE Teacher
My Email: sione.makoni@washk12.orgAloha and hello! My name is Coach Sione, and I am so excited to be teaching PE at your school! A little bit about me: I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. My educational journey began at Utah State University, included a quick stop at Snow College, and wrapped up at Dixie State University, where I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Individualized Studies with an emphasis in Integrated Physical Health and Coaching.
This is my second year teaching physical education, and I am truly living my dream job! My favorite children’s book is No, David! by David Shannon, and my favorite book series is Goosebumps by R.L. Stine. Outside of the gym, I love spending time with my wife and children, hiking, working out, playing golf and playing the guitar. I can't wait for a fun year ahead!
