Submitted by jennifer.dunn on

Ms. Allred is a new math teacher at SJHS. Ms. Allred started working at SJHS on January 19.

According to Ms. Allred, she originally did not know what she wanted to do. Right before she started attending BYU, she met with an advisor to ask for some help registering for classes and instead he tried to convince her to choose a major. He noticed that she had taken a couple of AP math classes, and he told her all the reasons that math teaching would be a good job. “He convinced me to try it,” Ms. Allred said, and at first she was not sure if she would stick with it or not, but as soon as she started learning about it and practicing, she found out she really loved it.  

Ms. Allred said, “I actually grew up in Springville, and I was student at SJHS (at the old building) when I was in eighth grade. It was super exciting to find out I got to come back as a teacher.”

According to Isela Filoteo, a ninth grade student at SJHS, she likes Ms. Allred because she is really nice, and she likes helping people if they are struggling or having a hard time on a subject.  According to Aurora Ashby, a ninth grade student at SJHS, Ms. Allred is pretty chill, and she is really nice. Aurora Ashby said, “All in all, I love Ms. Allred as a teacher.”
