Hello! My name is Kayla Johnson.  I am one of the Wellness teachers at Mickelson Middle School.  I received my undergraduate degree in Health, Physical Education and Recreation, specializing in Physical Education Teacher Education from South Dakota State University in 2008.  I graduated with my master's degree from SDSU in Sport and Recreation Studies in 2017.  Go Jacks!!!  Prior to teaching, I coached volleyball in Deubrook and coached basketball and volleyball in Sioux Valley. 

My husband, Luke, and I have two cats, Milo and Monkey, who entertain us daily.  I love staying active and participating in sports, especially volleyball and softball.  During the summer months, I enjoy gardening and spending time outside.  One of my new favorite hobbies is kayaking.  On days when I have to stay inside, my favorite hobby is to play piano or guitar.  I also enjoy scrapbooking, cooking, and baking.
