Mr. Bucher
My name is Anton Bucher, and I have been an Assistant Volleyball coach and teacher for the last two school years. (Previously, I was the Theatre Teacher at Lone Star High School, Frisco ISD for 6 years, and before that, the Theatre Teacher at Pioneer Heritage Middle School for 12 years.) I have been married to my beautiful wife, Christie, for over 20 years, and I have a son - Quint - born in 2007, and a daughter - Keira - born in 2009. We also have four dogs and NO CATS - because dogs are better. AND ... Why the heck is a former Theatre Teacher coaching Volleyball?!? Glad you asked!
In college, I majored in Theatre, but minored in Physical Education, with a Coaching Emphasis. It really is just the same thing, whether directing or coaching: I am trying to get my students to look/sound/perform/play better. I started out coaching men's VB when I was doing my student teaching, and my first two teaching jobs (high school level) had me coaching Volleyball and Basketball for both Men and Women. I took a break from coaching for a bit, but when my daughter came into my life, I knew volleyball would be a part of hers.
In 2022, the after-affects o fCOVID burned me out, as it did for a lot of teachers, and I needed to get back to where I started. Coaching. I coached JV Volleyball and Softball at Braswell HS in Denton ISD, then JV Volleyball and Middle School Track at Pottsboro ISD, and am now here at Plano, coaching 9th Grade Volleyball and JV Girls' Basketball. I am VERY excited to be a WILDCAT!
To round out a little bit more of my biography - growing up for me was a little different from most: I was born in Southern California to parents who had emigrated from the Netherlands - I am a first generation American. When I was 10 years old, my parents joined Wycliffe Bible Translators, and I became a missionary's kid. I went to high school in Texas (down in Duncanville), in Papua New Guinea, and graduated from high school in Indonesia (1989). I attended Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, graduated in 1994, and have been teaching for most of that time. There was a 16-month period where I was running a youth sports league, first in California, and then here in the Dallas area - but I had to get back to teaching! I did, and the rest is history!
There is actually a lot more to my - and my family's - story, but I'll save it for my classes. I look forward to a great school year!
