Hi! I am so excited to be joining the Golden Spike team! For the past nine years I have worked in Weber School District supporting student behavior. Prior to that I worked in Ogden School District in their junior high schools. I am looking forward to creating strong relationships with the staff, students, and guardians in our community. For fun I love to read, spend time with my family, and relax while watching romantic comedies! Please feel free to reach out to me at amanda.morris@besd.net or 435-515-5609.
