Mr. Compton

I am a graduate of Loyola High School and have been teaching high school art here since 2000.  I teach a variety of art classes including ceramics, painting, drawing, photography, and video editing.  Before coming to Loyola I taught middle school art at Blue Earth Area Schools.  After BEA I spent a year at United South Central teaching high school art.

In addition to teaching art I am also the head Boys and Girls Cross Country coach.  In the spring I am the head Boys and Girls Track & Field coach.

When I am not teaching or coaching I enjoy going out for a run, taking pictures, or going camping with my family.

Over the past few years I have had the opportunity to travel abroad with my students.  I have traveled to Spain, France, Italy, Ireland, Wales, England, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and Greece.  Of course I did get some great photos while traveling!"
