Phys. Ed 4 Life
Meet Mr. Rothbart
Hello students, parents, and faculty! My name is Eric Rothbart, and I am the new Health and Physical Education teacher at Amity High School. Previously, I taught Phys. Ed. for three years in the town of Orange.
Before teaching, I graduated in 2014 from Southern Connecticut State University, and received a B.S. in Exercise Science with a concentration in Teaching. I have also received my certification in School Health Education. At Southern, I was a 4-year member of the Varsity Soccer program, an active member of the Physical Education Club, and helped run the Intramural programs on campus, among many other things.
​
Outside of school I am currently working on completing my Masters degree in School Health. I also coach soccer for the Cheshire Soccer Club and have been coaching there for 5 years with the premiere program CSC United.
