My name is Mark McConnell and I was born right here in northeast Ohio. I was raised in Hudson and graduated from the district in 2008. I am very excited to be working with this district and acting as a positive influence on the students and staff that I work with during the school year. I currently teach 3rd and 5th grade physical education in East Woods. My passion is working with this group of students to instill an interest in healthy and active lifestyles that continue after they leave Hudson.

Expect a wide variety of activities, sports, games and other skills to be introduced and worked on in my class. Most importantly, physical education is supposed to be fun, come to class with a first class attitude and ready to have a great experience!!

Besides teaching, I am also the head coach of the high school men's cross country and track & field team. Working with student-athletes is another passion of mine. I work to instill motivation, social skills, competitive athletics, sportsmanship, lifelong friendships/memories and an interest in a sport that they can do the rest of their lives.
