Administration

Jeffery Hall is proud to be serving in his third year as Principal of Scholar Academy and his 17th year in education. Prior to becoming Principal, he spent four and a half years as a Vice Principal and 11 years teaching 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students. During his teaching career, he also served as a Technology Specialist, helping educators integrate technology in meaningful ways to improve student learning.

His favorite part of education is helping students overcome challenges and discover their potential. He believes that understanding every person's perspective is essential before making decisions and that education, in all its forms, provides opportunities for a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Mr. Hall holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Phoenix. He completed his administrative licensure through Utah State University and earned a Technology Endorsement from Southern Utah University. He is also a graduate of the E-mints program, a two-year professional development program focused on effective technology integration and student-centered learning.

Throughout his career, Mr. Hall has received several honors and recognitions. He was selected as one of Utah’s Top Five Teacher of the Year finalists by the Utah State Board of Education. He was also recognized by the Granite Education Foundation for his work with gifted students and served as a Technology Specialist for Granite School District.

Outside of school, Mr. Hall enjoys camping, playing guitar, 3D printing, video games, spending time with family, and exploring new technology. He has been married for 17 years and is the proud father of three children, all of whom have attended Scholar Academy.

One of his favorite personal memories is appearing on The Price is Right and winning a game of Plinko.

His educational philosophy can be summed up in a simple belief:

"What we learn becomes a part of who we are."

Hello!  My name is Ashley Tignor. I have been part of Scholar Academy since its opening in 2014! During this time, I have had the privilege of teaching first and second grade, as well as being an instructional coach. I have absolutely loved my time teaching and coaching, and I am now excited to embark upon my new journey as Vice Principal. 

I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Utah State University and Masters degrees in Educational Leadership and Curriculum and Instruction from Western Governors University. I also have a technology endorsement from Southern Utah University. Education is very important to me, and I am passionate about working with students to encourage their own love of learning. It is amazing to witness students' growth and celebrate their many achievements through their educational experience. 

My husband and I have been married for 20 years and have 2 amazing children! Some hobbies of mine are reading, traveling, crafting, cooking and spending time with my family.

As Vice Principal, I am eager to use my experience and enthusiasm to further enhance our students' success, student and family engagement, and our positive and effective school environment. I look forward to continuing to support our incredible school community, working collaboratively with students, parents, and staff to create an environment where every student can thrive. I feel very fortunate to be a part of Scholar Academy and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to do what I love. 

I look forward to our wonderful school year together! 

Coming Soon!

Hi!  I'm Scout!  I was born in 2012.  As a kid, I would fly to the highest tree and watch kids get dropped off at school.  I knew then that I wanted to be a mascot.

When I was 2, I got to go to school.  School was my favorite part of the day.  As the years passed, people looked up to me.  I think I wanted to be a mascot mostly because I'm caring, nice, and always look up to people.

When I was 6, my one wish was granted.  I became the mascot for Scholar Academy.  I had an owl dance party!
