Teacher Tribute Wall

My son has had a rough go for someone so young and was academically over a year behind the rest of his class. Medical issues and peer problems were a constant shadow over his young life. Previous teachers tried to help him catch up to no avail. We were at the point of desperation and […]

I believe Nadine Jeppson is truly a dedicated and enthusiastic year round teacher, at South Jordan Elementary School, in South Jordan, UT. I think the most important thing you can give to children is to let them know they are loved and that they can accomplish whatever they believe they can. Mrs. Jeppson helps them […]

My mom has fulfilled many roles in her lifetime. She has been our: best friend, taxi driver, cancer survivor, paper editor, soccer mom, tutor, advisor…the list could go on and on. She has successfully met our needs at home, and has somehow managed to be the most committed teacher I have ever had the privilege […]

Mrs. Lee teaches 4th grade at Sunrise Elementary. My son had had a pretty tough 3rd grade year and I was concerned about how he would do in 4th grade. He is very bright, but has a lot of energy! I knew it was going to be a good year, when on the Saturday after […]

I have been listening to KSL Teacher Feature since I was a really young kid. I have always thought about nominating my Mother, but just haven’t ever done it. Well, it is about time. It may seem weird to have the child of the teacher do the nomination rather than a student. The differences between […]

Mr. Brady, or Coach Brady as he is better known, is a teacher at Tooele high school as well as the head football coach. He teaches the special needs classes at the school but is far more than a teacher to these students. It is clearly obvious that Coach Brady cares about his students. Not […]

Wendy is a teacher at Primary Children’s Middle School and one that deserves to be recognized for her outstanding abilities and for going above and beyond as a role of teacher in her students lives. Wendy is not your average teacher with your average classroom. She is the teacher of patients that are in the […]

Granger high school has received a lot of media coverage in the past year or so regarding a new top of the line football stadium and a complete remodel of the institution itself. Though these improvements are definitely worth celebrating, it would be criminal to overlook the contributions and achievements of one of their most […]

I am writing to nominate a former teacher of mine, Wayne Stevenson, for the KSL Teacher Feature Award. Mr. Stevenson has had a great influence on my life ever since I had him at Wahlquist Junior High, in classes in World Geography and American History. Even before I started class with Mr. Stevenson, I was […]

Dear Teacher Feature Judges, I am happy to forward the attached essays nominating Mr. William “Bill” Mattingly, Alta High School’s band and orchestra teacher for KSL’s Teacher Feature award. These essays are from each of my sons who had Mr. Mattingly as their orchestra and band teacher from when he first started his teaching career […]

My son had Mrs. Stockman last year and I feel I would be ungrateful if I did not take this opportunity to nominate her for this honor. She is the favorite teacher of most past students and is a truly loving and warm person. My son Ian has learning difficulties and struggles keeping up in […]

One of the students that she coached was my daughter Emma. Ms. Duncan spent countless hours coaching her and the rest of the team. In her senior year, Emma […]
