PE/Health

Braxton Larson | Physical Education

Hi! My name is Coach Larson, and I’m excited to be teaching 6th Grade PE this year! I’m originally from St. George, Utah, and I’ve been working with Washington County School District for 10 years. Outside of school, I enjoy staying active and trying new things. I love pickleball, basketball, hiking, football, traveling, music, movies, and of course- good food! I’m a big Utah Jazz fan and a loyal Cleveland Browns fan. I also enjoy history and have had the opportunity to study and work in Europe, which has been one of my favorite experiences. I’m currently working toward earning my master’s degree, so I’m still a student myself. And if you ever hear someone singing a little too enthusiastically, there’s a good chance I’m at karaoke.I’m excited to get to know each of my students and help them have a positive experience in PE.

Mrs. Rowlette is a native of Arizona but spent many summers traveling to St. George to visit cousins and grandparents.

Over the years, Mrs. Rowlette has had the opportunity to teach 7th and 6th PE, 7th Health, 7th Utah Studies, and 6th Social Studies. Her love of being active and of history allows her to explore and learn about the history or background of various topics. She enjoys discovering new places and learning about the who, what, and why of significant events.

Outside of school, Mrs. Rowlette spends her time taking care of her three children: two girls and a boy. They keep her busy with trips to parks, playing games, going swimming, and enjoying backyard activities. In her PE/Health classes, Mrs. Rowlette encourages students to never give up, try new things, and promotes kindness and good sportsmanship. In her History classes, she inspires students to be curious and ask questions.
