August 2021

I’m so excited to be teaching the best class ever next year! I’m an orchestra nerd through and through, and love playing all kinds of music on my main instrument (viola). When I’m not performing or teaching, I’m probably baking or rock climbing. I love baking anything delicious. If there isn’t something freshly baked in my house, I know what I need to do. In an attempt to be more active, I started (indoor) rock climbing this year- and now I’m hooked! It makes me feel much more adventurous than I really am. I can’t wait to teach orchestra full time!

Hello! My name is Jake Craig. I will be teaching 9th Grade Resource English and Inclusion this Fall. I Graduated with my Bachelors Degree in Special Education from BYU-Idaho and this will be my first year teaching for the District. I am very excited to get to know the students and grow in knowledge and skill with them. I have been married for 3 and a half years to my beautiful wife, Shelby. We have a baby girl on the way and she will be here in August! We also have a fun loving dog named, Georgia. She is a Yorkipoo! My family is everything to me! I love the outdoors!

 I am one of the new 9th grade math teachers and will be teaching Math 1. I am originally from Las Vegas, Nevada and love the heat more than the cold. I am a huge ice hockey fan and love going to hockey games. I know it will be a shock to most people, but my team is the Vegas Golden Knights. I grew up with three brothers and would play street hockey with them in my neighborhood.

My name is Ms. Stevens and I am so excited to teach Math 8 this year! I grew up in American Fork, Utah and studied mathematics education at BYU, where I got both my bachelor's and master's degrees (go cougs!). I love math, traveling, playing piano, and playing Legend of Zelda video games. I am a big fan of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and most things Disney. Most importantly, I firmly believe sriracha mayo is the greatest condiment in the world.

I’m Coach Bleyle and I’ll be teaching PE! I graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in physical education teaching and coaching. I love being active, getting in the weight room, and playing sports. My favorite sport would have to be volleyball, but I love pretty much all of them! I grew up on a small farm in Missouri with a lot of family.

I am so excited to be the Dean of Students here at Spanish Fork Jr. High. I have always loved the possibility of making a contribution to young people's lives and I am excited to be a part of this school and to work with each and every one of you.

My one and only hobby is being a supportive mother to my three children. I am a professional Taxi driver to my girls by driving them back and forth to dancing, EVERY SINGLE DAY.

I am coming from MJHS where I enjoyed being a counselor there for four years. Prior to that, I had a very rewarding internship at PHS. I am excited to join the SFJH team and know I am among some of the best (so I have heard from many!).

I am teaching Earth and Space Science, I love the outdoors, my family, and cooking good food. Once upon a time I played all the sports, now I just watch them. I love teaching science, it is the best!
