Hello, My name is Tom Grieb.  I'm one of the Physical Education teachers at Samuel E. Spaght Science and Communication Magnet School.  I have been teaching since 1995.  My teaching career began when I decided to leave the banking industry and become a teacher.  I studied at and was graduated from the University of Kansas in Lawrence.  My first teaching job was at a junior high school in Olathe, Kansas.  I taught in Olathe for 5 years.  My wife, who is also a teacher, and I then moved to Great Bend, Kansas where I taught Biology at Great Bend High School for 2 years before becoming the Physical Education teacher at Park Elementary School.  I taught at Park School for 11 years.  I began teaching at Spaght in 2014 after my family moved to Wichita.

As I mentioned earlier, I am married and my wife is a Science teacher at Pleasant Valley Middle School in Wichita.  I have 5 children ranging in age from 16 to 29.  My oldest daughter received her teaching degree and taught band and choir at a Kansas City, Kansas middle school.  My oldest son lives in Minnesota and works for a hobby and craft store.  My middle son is married and lives in Cameron, North Carolina.  He is a 2nd Lieut. in the United States Army.  My youngest daughters are both students at Wichita East High School.  One daughter is a senior and works at local restaurant after her school day is over.  My youngest daughter is a sophomore and she is on the "student council" and her other interests include singing and dancing.
