Megan Magnison
Hello! My name is Miss Magnison and I live in Broomfield with my fiancé, Greg, and our puppy Bodhi. We just adopted him this summer and he has been an amazing/hilarious addition to our home! When we're not playing with Bodhi, Greg and I enjoy going out to dinner & movies, playing anything Mario, and hiking.
I graduated from a small rural high school in Northwestern Oklahoma in 2001 and attended classes part-time at UCO until I moved to Colorado in 2005. After many years in the service industry I found myself ready for a major change in life. In 2010, I made the decision to return to school at Metropolitan State University and in 2015 I graduated Magna Cum Laude with my bachelor’s in Psychology and a minor in Elementary Education.
I am entering my fifth year of teaching at Vanderhoof and I have loved every minute! This is an incredible community to be a part of and I am thankful to work alongside such amazing teammates and families. I am super excited to meet my new students and know we are going to have a great year together!
