Faculty & Staff Directory

Every faculty member at American Heritage of South Jordan must love working with children and adolescents. It’s their passion for teaching and mentoring our students that separates our faculty from others. Each holds a degree or specialty background in their field, offering experience and wide range of knowledge to our students. Our faculty spends a large part of their Summers and school breaks updating skills preparing lesson
plans, and exploring the latest classroom materials and technologies.

Each year AHSJ holds several workshops for our faculty with experts in a variety of fields to facilitate continuing education. Our faculty collaborates together across various grades and curriculums in an effort to design the best possible academic experience for our students.
