Mr. Moats

Hello, my name is Conan Moats. This is my eighth year teaching at DVHS. I enjoy working here because I have talented colleagues, a dedicated administration and students who are committed to excellence.

I have a BA in Philosophy from UC Berkeley, a Social Studies Credential from SFSU and a MA in History from American Public University. I have been an educator for over 20 years and I love what I do (most of the time).
