Hello, my name is Joshua Porter. I am excited to be coming back to Ascent Academy. This will be my third year at Ascent Academy, and my eleventh year of teaching. I have taught Kindergarten, first grade, fifth grade and sixth grade. I earned my degrees from Weber State University. I love U.S. History and really enjoy teaching that, as well as the other subjects.
I have many hobbies and enjoy staying physically active. I enjoy working out, running, and playing volleyball. I played club volleyball in college, and still play tournaments occasionally. I am a huge BYU volleyball fan and enjoy going to their games. I love to travel and have had many adventures. I have lived in Japan, Hawaii, Kentucky and Utah. I have visited most of the United States, Puerto Rico, and many other countries. I hope to be able to visit many more. I am happily married and have the most adorable five year old son.
