Jennifer Wright (Ms. Wright) is the Junior high math and science teacher. She became a teacher because she wanted to inspire young lives and she likes being around kids. She also wants to help young people understand math. Ms.Wright is from Osceola, but she did attend Mormon Trail when she was in third grade up until 9th grade. Her favorite thing about being a teacher is getting to be around the students and always having something to laugh or smile about. Ms. Wright also enjoys Mexican food. In Ms. Wright’s free time she likes to bicycle, walk, fish, golf, kayak, canoe, or do anything outside. We are excited to welcome yet another new teacher here, and are looking forward to spending time and learning more things about her this year.

Baylee Ann Head is a Junior here at Mormon Trail. Baylee is involved in FFA, 4H, Youth Council, Silver Cord, Basketball, Track, Volleyball and Cross Country. Baylee’s favorite sport is basketball because she loves getting to be aggressive. She participated in Cross country alone this year. She says it wasn’t that great because she went unnoticed at a lot of the meets. In her free time she works on the farm. Baylee enjoys showing livestock at fairs and open shows. Her favorite thing to show is cattle because they are easier to handle. Baylee plans to attend college to become either a nurse or a vet.
