If there is someone you needed to talk to or just someone to hang out with, Mrs. Joy Maughan will be at her desk waiting for you. Mrs. Maughan is the Springville Junior High counseling secretary. Mrs. Maughan has been at Springville Junior for seven years. “I love my job; it’s a great job to have,” she explained.
Mrs. Maughan is married and has five kids, and lives in Salem. Mrs. Maughan started with her job as a part time in elementary schools and really enjoyed it, so she wanted to work at Springville Junior.

Mrs. Maughan has the responsibilities of enrolling students, withdrawing students, report cards, and scheduling SEOP’s. As you can see, she has a lot of responsibilities. “Mrs. Maughan is the nicest person in the school,” Ms. Miley, an English teacher, said. “Mrs. Maughan is someone you can talk to easily, you can talk to her about anything and not have to worry about being judged,” stated ninth grade counselor Mr. Shaun Blakey.
“Mrs. Maughan is an amazingly kind, helpful, and patient person,” said Mrs. Monica Distefano the eighth grade counselor said. Mrs. Linton, the new seventh grade counselor, said “Since I am new here, Mrs. Maughan has been so helpful and patient with me as she teaches me how to use the computer programs and how everything works at SJHS.”
Whether it’s at home or at work, Mrs. Maughan is always 100% nice. Whether she’s having a bad day or not, she always shows that sense of fun, loving and caring person she is.
