Mr. Lagger's Class

Welcome to Mr. Lagger's PE Class

Bio

My name is Michael Lagger. This is my 10th year teaching at James Hart. I was fortunate enough to start my career here in 2015 as a student teacher. I teach Physical Education and coach Baseball and Boy's Basketball. I also taught 5 years of U.S. History here at Hart. This is an exciting time to be apart of the James Hart community and this is going to be a great year for our school.

I received my Bachelors of Science degree from Illinois State University in 2015.

My goal as a teacher is to help students understand the importance of health and fitness and it's effect on daily living, while also helping students develop positive habits and responsibility for their education. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me through e-mail or phone.
