I've enjoyed teaching for 31 years in Nebo School District at both Payson Jr and  at Springville High. I decided retirement would be more fun exploring science with Diamondback students so... I'm back! I like to rack up the miles road cycling, relax on a mountain stream fly fishing, gaze at the heavens through my telescope, and explore the nature of our great outdoors.

My name is Hailey Neumiller and I will be teaching 9th grade biology and 7th grade science this year! I just graduated from BYU in April and I am so excited to share my passion for the study of life! I am originally from Star, Idaho so I grew up playing outside with my 3 younger sisters and farming potatoes (just kidding, we could barely keep our garden alive). I love animals and my family had 2 cats, a chihuahua and a rabbit, as well as periodic squirrels - long story. I learned how to ski when I was 2 years old and I haven't missed a season since.

Hello! My name is Calleen Spencer. I am excited to join Diamond Fork Jr. High! I have spent the past 6 years teaching 6th grade in Salem and am looking forward to making the jump to teach 8th grade math this year.

My name is Melissa Hessing. I am born and raised in Utah, and graduated from Brigham Young University. I love history, but I'm not very good at math, unless I'm doubling fractions in a recipe for Texas Sheet Cake. Being outdoors is my happy place, skiing in winter, boating in summer, and whatever else can get me outside is what I always want to be doing.  love traveling, especially camping, and going on any new adventure possible, especially if I get to drag my husband and daughter around.
