Matt Mickle, P.V. Only Editor
Matt Mickle is wrapping up his senior year at Pleasant Valley High School before packing up his things and heading to the University of Iowa where he plans to major in Business Marketing. Matt will finish up this semester serving as the P.V. Only Editor for the Spartan Shield. Outside of school, Matt is a sports fanatic. He plays both football and basketball at PV, and if he’s not playing sports, chances are he’s watching them. Matt is a huge Iowa Hawkeyes fan, but an even bigger Chicago Bears fan. Matt is the baby of three siblings, Kyle, who graduated from the University of Iowa in December of 2019, and Kate, who is currently in her junior year at Monmouth College. As Matt takes on the role of the Spartan Shield’s P.V. Only editor, he intends to make sure that there are positive vibes only in his neck of the woods.
