MHS Teacher Spotlights

Hannah Giles grew up in Cache Valley, primarily in Hyrum, Utah. After graduating from Mountain Crest High School, Giles attended Snow College for two years at Utah State University for an additional two years, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in Agriculture Education with a minor in Animal Science. 

Giles began her teaching career at Maple Mountain High School in Spanish Fork. After teaching there for two years she was hired by Morgan High School. She is currently in her second year teaching classes ranging from Biology to Animal Science to Greenhouse Management.

Currently, Giles is working to attain a Part 107 Pilot License to teach a Drone Technology course at MHS in the fall.

“I became a teacher because I wanted to be able to give kids experiences in their high school years that my own AG teacher, Megan Haslam, was able to give me, said Giles. “I also realized that so many people in the world had no idea how important the AG industry is in their lives. Being able to help kids realize that agriculture is so much more than a farmer on a tractor in a field.”

Giles says she continues to teach is because she loves it. “I love watching my high school students grow and realize what they can accomplish in life. That they are capable of so much more than they realize.”

Besides teaching, Giles also is the advisor for the Future Farmers of America program at the high school. “I love helping my FFA members gain new skills to help them in their adult lives.” 

Giles' job at MMS brought her to Morgan where her parents are from. She also noted that she has a lot of family here and wanted to be close to everyone. “I kind of grew up here in a way because I visited so often as a kid.”

When she moved to Morgan she was set up on a blind date where met her now husband, Kale Giles. They have been married for seven months.

In her spare time, Giles enjoys cooking and baking, listening to music,  farming with her husband and spending time with family. λ
