Jennifer Morgan was born in California but raised in St. George from the age of 5.  She attended school at East Elementary and Dixie Middle then graduated from Dixie High. After attending Dixie College for 2 years she recieved her Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education from SUU. She married a dairy farmer and lived in Circleville, Utah for 9 years where she taught 4th grade for two of those years until she quit to raise her family. Her family moved to Santa Clara in 2001 when they decided to sell the dairy farm. In 2009 she was ready to return to work and with her teaching license expired, she took a job as a school secretary in the counseling office at SCMS. She found she enjoyed working with secondary students and being in the counseling office so much that she decided she wanted to go into school counseling instead of return to teaching. In 2018 she got the nerve to apply to graduate school and  was accepted into the University of Utah's School Counseling Program and graduated with her Master's Degree in Educational Psychology in May 2020.  She is beyond excited to continue working at SCMS as a school counselor. 

Mrs. Morgan has 5 kids, 1 fur baby and 3 grandkids which are her favorite past times. She enjoys being outdoors, going to the beach, camping, bike riding and taking long naps.
