MMS teacher spotlight

Krachel Fullmer was raised in Heber City, Utah. After graduating from Wasatch High School, Fullmer attended Dixie College where she received her associate degree before transferring to the University of Utah where she received her Bachelor of Science degree in Mass Communications. She went on to graduate from the University of Utah in 2002.

Fullmers teaching career began as a substitute teacher, working throughout Morgan School District. In March of 2022, she was asked by Mr. Mikesell, principal of Mountain Green Middle School to serve as a long-term sub at MGMS as a FACS/CCA teacher. “Mr. Mikesell taught me a lot about teaching and how to better work with both students and teachers,” commented Fullmer. Around the same time she was offered a full-time position at Morgan Middle School, which she started in the fall of 2022. Fullmer is now in her second year of teaching where she teaches CCA, Digital Literacy and Sports Marketing to seventh and eighth grade students. 

Before becoming a teacher, Fullmer worked for 10 years for local television stations in Utah and Wyoming, followed by an additional 10 years working in Communication roles for local non-profit and government entities. “As my children have grown and gotten busier, I have felt a pull to be closer to them and available after school. Teaching allows me to share my love for business while being closer to home. It's really the best of both worlds!” said Fullmer.

“One of my most favorite things is watching students improve their typing skills while in my class. It's very rewarding to see them improve their speed and accuracy during their time in my class.”

Outside of teaching, Fullmer is MMS’s FBLA advisor. She started the inaugural chapter last year and has found success both years at state-level competitions. 

 “In addition to watching my husband coach freshman football games and sophomore girls’ basketball games, I also follow my ninth grader to all of her activities with the high school cheer team,” she said. “We kind of feel like we live at the schools but we love every minute of it.”

Fullmer has been married to her husband Dustin, who is also a teacher at MGMS, for nearly five years. Combined they have six children and two grandchildren.

Both Dustin and Krachel left successful careers in sales and public relations, to pursue their teaching careers the same year.  

We spent every single night during the 2022-2023 school year sitting on our couch, watching Jazz games, making lesson plans and grading papers.” Krachel said. “We are truly loving every minute of being able to serve and teach in Morgan School District.” λ
