There is a very important person at Springville Junior High School that most students don’t know about--Mrs. Davenport. Mrs. Davenport works at our school from 11:00 - 2:40. One of the things that she does is she tracks kids. When she tracks a student, she monitors their grades and attendance to see how well they are doing. If a student isn’t doing very well, their parents might ask for them to be tracked. Other times, a student will just be assigned to Mrs. Davenport to be monitored. Mrs. Davenport also helps out with the Four H clubs after school by providing snacks for the members.

At Springville Junior High, we have a new dean of students!  His name is Mr. Argyle.  According to Mr. Van Ausdal, SJHS principal, Mr. Argyle brings sixteen years of experience with him.  Mr. Argyle taught health, science, and PE for more than fifteen years at Diamond Fork Junior High School.  Mr. Van Ausdal thinks that Mr. Argyle is an awesome guy.  He said, “He has a friendly disposition.”

Ms. Yeager, teacher at Diamond Fork Junior High, worked with Mr. Argyle for many years.  According to Ms. Yeager, Mr. Argyle is really nice and funny, always cares about the well-being of students and “is very humble and willing to learn new things.”

Mr. Anderson, a math teacher at Springville Junior High School, said, “I want students to learn that with the proper effort, they can do anything.” The classes he teaches are Pre-Algebra, Secondary Math 1, Secondary Math 1 Honors, and Secondary Math 2 Honors. According to Mr. Anderson, he has a  Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a masters degree in Teaching Mathematics.
