Teacher Tribute Wall

I want to nominate Tracy Hansen for Teacher Feature. She is an awesome teacher. I don’t think she gets recognized that much because she works at the Alternative High School. All my life I have heard people tell her “when are you going to get a real job?” or “How can you deal with those […]

Mrs. Karen Brown is a fun, happy, “go-getter” who actively stays “fit” so she can entice her students to try to “out run” her in their races. She is remarkable, patient, and encouraging. She has a class with a wide variety of challenges and seems to be able to adjust the educational needs of the […]

Teacher Feature, I would like to highly recommend Christine Spencer for the KSL Teacher Feature Award. She was my daughter’s 6th grade teacher at Heritage Elementary. My children have always had good teachers, but Christine is one of the most outstanding teachers I’ve ever met. My daughter is extremely shy and has been in a […]

My name is Judy Hawkins. I am the parent of a disabled child, Peter Hawkins 20 yrs. old, that is currently in his 2nd year of the STEPS program at Vista Education Campus in Farmington, UT. I am writing to you in hopes that you will help me show my appreciation for one of his […]

I know that there are lots of great teachers teaching in our schools, and I am grateful. However, Mrs. Trish Morrison is by far the best teacher I have ever encountered! I have 4 children and can honestly say that between elementary, middle and high school, she is hands down the best! Mrs. Morrison has […]

Mr. Ewell does an amazing job of teaching a love of learning as well as inspiring his students to learn more about the world around them. He challenged his students to memorize the Gettysburg Address this year in honor of the 150 year anniversary. My son, Quin, excitedly spent weeks studying it and practicing it. […]

There are so many heroes in the world today. Heroes that come across as ordinary, everyday people. And many of those heroes carry the humble title of ‘teacher’. Nearly seven years ago, I was taught math by one of these heroes. His name was Mr. Bryan Crowther. Since as far back as I can remember […]

Ms Anderson has been a Savior for our son. He has been bullied for 2 years in his previous school. As a result we moved him to High Mark Charter School. His 6th grade teacher, Ms. Anderson has taken the time to get to know our son and to help his get his self worth […]

My son struggled with organization and deadlines all through junior high. When he began his sophomore year at Lone Peak High School, the rigors of demanding classes and extra-curricular activities completely overwhelmed him. He was falling behind in classwork and struggled to meet his obligations, especially in band class. Feeling desperate and defeated, he approached […]

Craig Knight is the most deserving person I know. He has done things that no other teacher I have ever had would do. He’s not afraid to do things that are “outside the box”, and get his students involved in things that are unexpected. He has done a lot of unique things for me and […]

Mrs. Pfister is all about family – the students in her class become family by being there every day for one another. After my daughter was diagnosed with a very loud vocal tic she took the motto ‘we are family’ to heart. My daughter was worried about being in school because it can be disruptive […]

Ms. Gowans is a science teacher at the Granite Technical Institute. My son has worked with her for three years. Ms. Gowans is a great teacher; she helps the kids explore their interests in animal and plant science. When my son decided to raise turkeys she encouraged him and made a couple house calls to […]
