John Priest
Director, Programming
John's passion and energy with the teens is invaluable in his role as Trackside's part-time Program Director. John dreams up, coordinates and oversees the programs and events for our teens and is here to coach, mentor and engage with them afterschool each day. When not making kids of all ages smile by dressing up as Buddy the Elf, Darth Vader, Greatest Showman Ringmaster or Captain Zero, John is a 6th grade teacher at Middlebrook Middle School here in Wilton (one of the most loved according to our Tracksiders!) where he also lives with his wife, Heather and 2 daughters. John's passion and creative program planning for fun is a source of great energy and enthusiasm which helps our teens thrive.
