Mr. John Neumann
Howdy, Mavericks! I am so excited to join the Mathews Elementary community as your assistant principal!
My Plano ISD journey began as a student, attending Wells Elementary, Schimelpfenig Middle School, Jasper High School, and graduating from Plano Senior High School. My mom was also a sub-school secretary at Plano West Senior High School from 2000-2020.
After receiving my undergraduate degree from the University of Oklahoma, I obtained my teaching certification and joined the Otto Middle School for their inauguration in 2010 as a Special Education teacher. At Otto, I worked as a Strategist, Developmental (Life Skills) teacher, BASE/FOCUS teacher, and team leader. In 2018, I transitioned to Murphy Middle School as their Special Education department chair and ACHIEVE teacher. While I was at Murphy, I also earned my Masters degree from Western Governors University and achieved my principal certification. I joined the Dooley Elementary family in July of 2022 as an assistant principal, and I spent three years there before coming to Mathews.
I hope my growth mindset, positivity, knowledge, professional experience, and life experience helps to build upon the strongly developed culture at Mathews.
Outside of school, my wife and I are proud parents of six "fur babies" (PB - a Black Lab/German Shepherd mix, and five Shiba Inus - Koji, Kiko, Kuma, Yuki, and Mika). I also enjoy cooking, watching Dallas Mavericks basketball, taking road trips, and gardening.
Thank you for welcoming me to your Mathews Family!
