Mrs. Angel Nilsson is one of the new teachers here at Springville Junior High. She teaches pre-algebra all day, and she loves it! Mrs. Nilsson loves seeing her students reaction when they understand the math that she is teaching them. 

Mrs. Nilsson went to Brigham Young University to get her mathematics education. Mrs. Nilsson said, “I never thought I would end up as a teacher, but when I got to college and started studying math, I realized that teaching would actually be ideal for me.”

Zoe Dalley, a seventh-grade student at SJHS, said, “Mrs. Nilsson makes math as fun as math can be.” Brent Williams, a seventh grade student at SJHS, said, “She really helps me with my math and makes things less boring.” 

Mrs. Nilsson grew up in Dutch John, Utah, a tiny little town in the Flaming Gorge recreation area. Her junior high and high school were an hour away, across the mountain in Manila, Utah. Her graduating class was only 13 people! 

Mrs. Nilsson said, “When I'm not spending time with family, I fill my time with lots of hobbies like eating, watching movies, sewing, etc. Also, my husband and I love riding his motorcycle and going to rock concerts!”

Mrs. Nilsson is really enjoying her time at Springville Junior High.  She said, “I love teaching at SJHS! The students are fun and bright. Even though I am new to the school, I already have a lot of school pride. We have the toughest and most honorable mascot and a great student body to go along. Go knights!”
