Mr. Shawn Hatfield will soon have been teaching at Springville Junior High for 20 years. He teaches science enrichment, eighth grade science, and biology, and has also taught a computer multimedia class in the past. According to Mr. Hatfield, junior high students are very hard to teach but also very fun to teach, because they still like a lot of things about school and are willing to learn. 

Mr. Hatfield likes teaching a lot.  He said, “[teaching junior high is] the best job I’ve ever had.” The reasons he enjoys teaching have changed over the years, but mostly he enjoys watching students learn. He said he likes teaching all grades, because “Each grade has something special to offer.”

Andrew Hoffman, and eighth grader at SJHS, had some very good things to say about Mr. Hatfield. He said, “He is the bomb.com,” and, “You never get bored in his class.” According to Andrew, there is no one thing that is the best about Mr. Hatfield.  He said, “Everything about him is great. There is no best part of perfect.”

In addition to teaching, Mr. Hatfield likes traveling, fishing, backpacking, and going to movies.
