My name is Matt Buechting and I am privileged to serve as the senior high assistant principal for the De Soto #73 School District.  After high school I attended Missouri Valley College where I played 3 years of college baseball and earned my Bachelor's Degree in Physical Education. 

After graduating college in 2006 I returned home and began my teaching and coaching career at Grandview Middle School teaching Physical Education and Health while coaching both football and baseball.  It was also during this time when I earned my masters degree in Educational Administration.  In the fall of 2010 I began my career at De Soto Junior High School teaching Physical Education and coaching both football and baseball. I spent 13 years in this position before stepping into this new role and am excited for the new opportunity to serve the district. 

My wife and I have two sons, who keep us very busy with various sports and activities.  In my free time I enjoy the outdoors, hunting, fly fishing, fly tying and Blues Hockey.
