Matt Allen, affectionately known by many students as “Coach Matt,” has been a dedicated member of the St. Agnes community for over twenty years. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Kansas State University and brings a lifelong passion for sports and teamwork to his role as Physical Education teacher.

Matt and his wife, Katie—who first met in 7th grade in the bleachers at a Bishop Miege football game—are deeply rooted in the St. Agnes parish. They were married at St. Agnes, raised their six children in the parish and school community, and continue to cheer on each of their Rams as they grow. Stephen, Blake, and Clare are thriving at Kansas State University; Luke and Madison are Bishop Miege Stags; and Riley is proudly carrying on the tradition as the last Ram.

In addition to teaching, Matt has coached countless St. Agnes soccer and basketball teams over the years, inspiring students both on and off the court. When he’s not in the gym or on the field, he enjoys cooking and spending time with his family of eight.
