My name is Jordan Beard, and I teach physical education at Battleground Elementary.  I graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in Athletic training in 2012.  Since then, I have obtained my teaching license in Health education, and physcial education.  I spent 2012-2016 at Lincolnton High School as the head athletic trainer.  I was also at Hickory Ridge Middle School as a health teacher and athletic trainer from 2016-2019.  My wife, Jessica and I are both from Lincoln County where we currently reside.  I am looking forward to a great year here at BGES!
