Teacher Tribute Wall

Camee Faulk is one of the greatest teachers and people that I know. She is so dedicated to her students. I honestly think that she cares about each one of them on a very personal level. She is the drama teacher at Kearns High School, she teaches all 8 periods so she does not even […]

Ann Moulton spent her entire teaching career at Ben Lomond High School in Ogden, Utah. For over 30 years she drew out the best in our voices and taught us about personal excellence. Our high school years were greatly impacted by her choir classes and the lessons learned about working together for something greater and […]

Every so often a person comes along who chooses a profession for which he or she is most well suited. Mrs. Barney is just such a person. While yet in high school she demonstrated skills and abilities that she would be called upon to use as a teacher, coach, and mentor. She attended college on […]

Mrs. Kristen Whitlock was my A.P. Psychology teacher during my senior year in high school (2002-2003). I realize that was a long time ago, but I am nominating Mrs. Whitlock because she is STILL teaching me 13 years later. As a teacher, Mrs. Whitlock sets herself apart as one of the best. She is calm, […]

Evette Mendisabal was born and raised in New Zealand and moved to Utah when she married over 16 years ago. She attended University in New Zealand to become a teacher but her schooling did not transfer to the states, so she has been working on obtaining her teaching certificate while teaching. She has been an […]

I am nominating Heather Schulz for the teacher feature because of her ability to help kids reach their potential. Through her compassion and caring these children excel and reach long-term success. Some teachers are considerate and kind but provide little scholastic challenge. Miss Schulz is capable of both. The children know she cares deeply for […]

Sarah Hancock was a first year teacher last year (2014-2015) when my daughter, Becca, was in her 5th grade class at Garland Elementary. It was also Becca’s first year at Garland Elementary school in Garland, UT. As the start of another school year approached, Becca expressed her concerns to me about having a new teacher […]

We nominate Mrs. Tammy Botelho, sixth grade teacher at Sage Hills Elementary in Saratoga Springs, UT. Mrs. Botelho is one of a kind. We could not pass up the opportunity to nominate her and honor her for all of the amazing things she is doing with her students. She is one of those rare teachers […]

Mrs. DeGering is a phenomenal teacher. She has been an advocate for my son since day one in her class. She has genuinely gotten to know him as a person. She has respected who he is, while pushing him to make not only academic progress, but social and emotional growth as well. He is shy […]

I adopted a 9 year old a year ago. He was always in Special ed behavior classes. When we moved to Eureka he started into a regular classroom. This year he is in fourth grade. Marlon is his name. He never had very much formal training in reading nor math. Mrs Wilbanks worked with him, […]

I know this never happens and is unorthodox but I really want to nominate my husband. He is so humble and does so many things behind the scenes that nobody sees that I felt like I should write him a nomination. Let me explain: He is very intelligent he got a 26 on the ACT […]

Jill Major changes lives. She is the most inspired, amazing teacher I have ever worked with. Willing to think outside the box when helping her student, her motto is “all of my students are smart, they just have challenges”. One year I had two students with severe dyslexia (one had the worst case of it […]
