My name is Matt Deaton. I am a proud De Soto High School alumni. I have worked at Festus, Kingston, Ste. Genevieve and Herculaneum before coming home to De Soto. I taught Industrial Technology and Physical Education while coaching football, wrestling and golf. As an administrator I have served as a Dean of Students, Activities Director, and Assistant Principal. My wife, Shelly, and I have two kids, Maggie and Jesse. Maggie is a graduate of De Soto High School and Jesse currently attends De Soto. We are proud members of the De Soto community and the Dragon Family.
I hope everybody has a great year and show your Dragon Pride!
