Teri Richins

Teri Richins was born and raised in Morgan. After graduating from Morgan High School, she attended Weber State University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education.

Richins started her career at Morgan Elementary School teaching third grade. After four years, she decided to be a stay-at-home mom. When her youngest child was in kindergarten, she started teaching fourth grade at MES before moving over to Morgan Middle School where she teaches sixth grade. She is currently in her 17th year of teaching.

“I became a teacher because I love children,” said Richins. “I enjoy watching them grow and learn. I love getting to know my students throughout the year and have a hard time seeing them move on.” 

Richins met her husband on a blind date, and has been married for 27 years. They have lived in Morgan for the past 20 years and together they have five children, four boys and one girl. Their three oldest boys are married, their daughter is currently attending Snow College and their youngest son will be a senior in high school next year. They also have two grandchildren with another one coming this July.

As a family, they enjoy the outdoors and traveling, hiking, fishing and camping. “My favorite places to visit are Yellowstone and the San Juan Islands,” Richins said. “When I am not busy with my family, I enjoy reading, watching movies and cooking.”
