On Tues., May 21, the Affton School District Board of Education approved the hiring of Brian Boehm as Director of Activities for the 2024-25 school year.
"We are thrilled to welcome Brian to the Affton High School administrative team. We believe that his unique blend of experience and a deep-rooted passion for our district will not only strengthen our athletic, fine arts, and extracurricular clubs and programs but also inspire our students to reach new heights,” said Dr. Travis Bracht, superintendent. “His vision for the growth and evolution of our programs and opportunities is exciting. We look forward to seeing the positive impact he will have on our school community."
Boehm’s impressive track record in school activities is a testament to his dedication and expertise. He has excelled in various roles, including head coach for varsity boys and girls volleyball, boys basketball, and boys swim. His outstanding performance was recognized when he was named the Sub-East Volleyball Coach of the Year in 2013 and Class 3A Coach of the Year in 2016. In addition to his athletic experience, Boehm has served as a physical education teacher at Affton High School since 2008. His leadership extends beyond the classroom, as he has also served as Summer School Principal for four years, PE & Health Department Chair, and a member of the District Buildings & Grounds Committee, Activities Committee, and Wellness Committee.
“As a proud Affton alum, I am humbled and honored to be entrusted with the role of Director of Activities,” said Boehm. “I look forward to working with students, staff, administration, and our community to continuously improve the current athletics and activities we offer with input from all stakeholders involved. Working together, we can continue to offer meaningful lifelong experiences and memories for all those who are a part of activities in the Affton School District."
Boehm earned a bachelor's degree in physical education from the University of Missouri-St. Louis, as well as a master's degree in activity/athletic administration and a master’s degree in educational administration from Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri.

While at Affton, he played football, basketball, baseball, and volleyball and was a part of four District Championship teams. He currently lives in Sunset Hills with his wife, Chasady, whom he met while working at the Affton Schnucks on Gravois over 23 years ago. They have two children, Bailey, who just graduated from Lindbergh High School and will attend Mizzou next fall, and Cohen, who will be a junior at Lindbergh next fall.
