Ms. Amanda Arbogast

I am thrilled to be returning as a member of the Pack here at Trailside Middle School! This will be my twelfth year teaching and eleventh year with Loudoun County Public Schools. I am honored to be a part of the inaugural staff who opened Trailside in 2014! I have previous experience working with Fairfax County Public Schools in the elementary setting as well as in Special Education. For the past two and a half years, I was the Dean at Belmont Station Elementary School. This year, I will be teaching Health & Physical Education for 6th and 7th grade. 

 

Born and raised in Leesburg, VA, I graduated from Loudoun County High School. I continued my education at George Mason University where I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in K-12 Health and Physical Education. I continued my education at Shenandoah University to obtain a Master's in Educational Leadership. Throughout high school and college, I played both volleyball and softball. I continue to play softball on an adult co-ed league Friday nights right here in Ashburn!

 

I am excited to instill in my students the importance of living a healthy lifestyle through physical fitness and have students step out of their comfort zone to try something new. I am a lifetime learner and enjoy learning new strategies to incorporate into my classroom. In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors hiking, gardening, canoeing, biking, playing sports, going to sporting events, and spending time with my family. 

 

I am eager to meet my students and learn and grow from my colleagues. Here's to an awesome year!
