My name is Matt Deaton.  I am a proud De Soto High School alumni.  I have worked at Festus, Kingston, Ste. Genevieve and Herculaneum before coming home to De Soto.  I taught Industrial Technology and Physical Education while coaching football, wrestling and golf.  As an administrator I have served as a Dean of Students, Activities Director, and Assistant Principal.  My wife, Shelly, and I have two kids, Maggie and Jesse.  Maggie is a graduate of De Soto High School and Jesse currently attends De Soto.   We are proud members of the De Soto community and the Dragon Family.

I hope everybody has a great year and show your Dragon Pride!
