WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah, Jan. 18, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) — Hunter High School and the Granite School District scrap-booked online the visit to the school of First Lady Jill Biden.
“On Tuesday, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden was joined by U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy and Utah’s First Lady, Abby Cox, at Hunter High Wolverines to celebrate educators and highlight the importance of educator wellness,” the school district noted online Wednesday with more than a dozen photographs of the visit to the West Valley City school.
“As a teacher for more than 40 years, Dr. Biden understands the struggles and successes that can occur in the classroom.
“She applauded the educators for their dedication to their chosen profession, and commended Principal Ryan Oaks for creating a successful work environment for the teachers and students.”
Hunter High School features several programs meant to encourage and cultivate student and educator wellness, including a mentoring program that pairs new teachers with a mentor; a social morale committee of peers focused on providing support for Hunter High School staff; and mental health-focused professional development days. “We couldn’t be more proud of the work our teachers, staff and administrators do daily.”
Dr. Biden
To all the teachers at Hunter High School in Utah: Thank you for all you do for your students.
As you begin the new semester, I hope you remember that someone out there is a better thinker because of you. Someone is working a little harder because you pushed him to try. Someone is braver because you helped her find her courage.
