My name is Clay Craig and I am thrilled to be a part of Mount Nebo Middle School. I am a new sixth grade reading teacher. This is my 23 year teaching school. I taught third grade at Santaquin Elementary for seven years and taught third and fourth grade at Orchard Hills Elementary for 15 years. I love teaching and feel that I have a way to get students to love literature and help them to succeed with their reading skills.
I grew up in Santaquin. I attended Santaquin School from kindergarten through seventh grade. That school building is now a museum, that is how old I am! I attended Payson Junior High and Payson High School. I graduated from Utah Valley University with my bachelor’s degree in 2000 and received my master’s degree from Southern Utah University in 2014.
I love spending time with my family. There is nothing better than sitting around the kitchen table drinking Diet Coke and playing games. I have two of THE cutest grandkids around. I am a part time potter. You will find me on most weekends throwing pots on my wheel. I love hiking in the Utah mountains and deserts. I also enjoy working in my yard, growing a tomato is so rewarding and you will always find my nose in a book.
Grateful for the opportunity to teach reading at Mount Nebo Middle School!
