Biography

Matt Hymas was raised in West Valley City, Utah. He has a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics Teaching from the University of Utah, a Master of Business Administration from the University of Phoenix, and a Master of Arts in Educational Leadership from Central Michigan University. He has been in education since 2008 as a teacher, coach, athletic director, junior high director, assistant secondary director, high school director, and is currently the Executive Director at Excelsior Academy. Matt is an advocate for education in all forms and believes that regardless of where a family chooses to be educated, it is the best possible education for them. 

Matt’s time in the classroom has helped him better understand the needs of students, parents, and teachers. His time as an administrator has brought a different perspective to the needs of families and communities. When he’s not working, Matt enjoys spending time in the mountains — any time he can get to a lake or river for fishing, he’ll take it. He also enjoys coaching, working with his hands, and simply being near his family.
