“I have learned so much about the history of Utah from my Utah Studies teacher, Mr. Ricks. Now I bring up events that happened in Utah all of the time. Just passing by areas that we studied I usually know something that took place, or a conversation comes up about Utah and I now know all of the facts that I learned in class. Mr. Ricks had our class complete several big projects that were really meaningful throughout the year that will always stay with me. His teaching kept me interested in a class I wasn’t sure I would like, and it turned out to be my favorite all time class so far.”
