Health & PE

Hello! 

My name is Mercedes Peterson, I also go by Sadie or Coach P. (the last one given to me by my little niece). I am from Hooper, Utah just down the road from Quest Academy. I graduated from Fremont High School where I played three sports and went on to receive my Bachelors of Education from Weber State. I am certified in Emergency Medical Response, which includes CPR and AED. In my free time I enjoy a little bit of everything from running half marathons to playing games with my siblings to playing the piano. (And for all my video game nerds, I do love me some Fortnite as well ;) )


It is my life goal to share my knowledge of mental and physical health and its effect on self worth and success with as many kids and teens as I can. Teens’ mental health affects every single aspect of their lives and with the skyrocketing number of teens reporting depression it is my personal mission to help kids LEARN and PRACTICE ways to build a healthy life full of self worth, strength, motivation, and taking care of their bodies. 


Always remember : YOU MATTER
