Mr. Dane McConnell, or Coach McConnell, as many have already learned to call him will be the 24-25 business education teacher at DPS. While an endorsed physical education teacher, Coach McConnell has shown that technology is something that comes to him with ease, and will be teaching the following classes this year at DPS:
Personal Finance (graduation requirement)
Computer Exploratory (graduation requirement)
Intro to Business & Business Law (business pathway or for anyone interested in running their own business)
Business Math (traditionally seniors not taking dual credit math)
Information Technology I / II (information technology pathway or for anyone interested in spreadsheets, documents, charting and more)

McConnell graduated from Creek Valley High School and Chadron State College, where he played football. His parents are Allen McConnell from Wyoming and Stacey McConnell from Colorado. His one and only sister, Joey, lives in Wyoming with his dad.
Mr. McConnell can be found in the weight room during the summer from 6 AM until 9 AM working with our junior high and high school students. After this, he is often in the classroom preparing for the upcoming year. When he does have free time, he loves to hang out with his family and friends, watch all kind of sports, and spend as much time as he can outside.
McConnell stated he is "excited to join the Deshler community. I am looking forward to meeting new people, bringing the juice to the school, and working with a great group of students every day."
McConnell will also be coaching our junior high football and junior high track teams, in addition to coaching high school football. Welcome, Mr. McConnell!
