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.

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’.

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.

I would like to nominate Mr. Fuller for the KSL Teacher Feature Award. Mr. Fuller came to Morgan High School during the 2012-2013 school year. He jumped right in and quickly became the favorite teacher among all the students. He was hired as a CTE teacher which includes: desk top publishing, graphic design, web page […]

Mrs. Heather Bond is a first grade teacher at Orchard Hills Elementary School in Santaquin, Utah. In my opinion, Mrs. Bond is very deserving of this recognition for many reasons. She has a gift for making her classroom a real community. Recently my daughter, Sabrina, was telling me about a boy in her class who […]

How can I even put into words the influence that teachers have had upon my life? From Mrs. Bond in first grade, teaching me to love reading, to Mrs. Carlson in eighth that taught me math really isn’t so bad. The educators I have had in my past have helped to shape the person I […]
