There are new student faces, but there are also some new faces among the teachers. David Anaya is the newest addition to the physical education department.

“I’m excited for this year,” Anaya said. “I recognize a lot of my old students from Maloney. I see them all around.”

Anaya taught P.E. for 12 years at Maloney Elementary School before joining Washington, but his teaching resume isn’t all just about P.E. He was also a driver’s education instructor and a health teacher in the past.

Even though he has taught multiple subjects, his personal favorite is P.E. It all started when he was a TA for a P.E. class during his senior year of high school. From there, his love for the subject blossomed.
