All of the students that he teaches are seventh and ninth graders. Carter Call, a seventh-grade student in Mr. Hansen’s Utah Studies class, said, “When he teaches, he is really exciting.” According to Mr. Hansen, his favorite thing about teaching at SJHS is to see his students learning.

Some fun facts about Mr. Hansen is that during college he was Western Athletic Conference (WAC) College Wrestling Champion.  He also celebrates his birthday all through the year when Mr. Hatfield’s science class comes in and sings to him.
