Mrs. Monica Linton, new counselor at SJHSSJHS Staff Writer
Springville Junior High has a new counselor this year. Mrs. Monica Linton lives in a small town called Mona (close to Payson) and comes to SJHS to be a 7th grade counselor. She moved to Mona because of her husband. He loves Mona, and she does too. Mrs. Linton grew up in the small town Kanesville, UT, and was a proud Weber High Warrior!
Since she moved around so much during the time she was in college, she ended up going to four different colleges, (Weber State University, Mt. San Antonio College, Cal State Fullerton, and Cal State Stanislaus), to get her four year degree. Thirteen years later, she got her Master’s at Utah State University.
She has taught math at elementary level, kindergarten through 6th grade. One of her most favorite classes that she was able to teach was a 7th grade class called The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens. Aside from her counseling job here at SJHS, she also used to help an after school program for disabled youth, teaching them how to swim.
Since she has come to SJHS, she has been very pleased. “I have been so impressed with how the students and faculty at SJHS really care about and watch out for each other. I love the atmosphere at this school and the people I've been able to associate with,” Mrs. Linton enthused.
She likes being a counselor because she gets to know the students. “There are so many people with individual personalities, strengths, and abilities. I can always see something I really appreciate and admire in each one.”
Welcome to Springville Junior High, Mrs. Monica Linton!
