MMS teacher spotlight: Aaron Croft

Aaron Croft grew up in Morgan, Utah. After graduating from Morgan High School, he furthered his education at Ricks College where he earned his associate degree in history, Brigham Young University earning a bachelor’s degree in history, Utah State University where he earned a minor in English Teaching, Boise State University earning his Master of Public Administration and a Teacher Certification from Weber State University. 

Croft started his teaching career four years ago at Morgan Middle School teaching Career Exploration and Digital Literacy. After one year he moved into teaching U.S. History and English.

“I always wanted to teach but only accomplished this after many years working in the private sector,” said Croft. “I’ll always be grateful I made the change!” He said he loves teaching because he gets the chance to work with wonderful people, small and large, every day. 

In addition to teaching, Croft works as a technology specialist for Morgan Middle School and as the District Safety and Security Director.

Croft met his wife Diane while attending BYU together. They were married in 1998. Together they have six “wonderful” kids, “two of which are married to equally wonderful people,” he said. They are looking forward to being grandparents.

While Croft grew up in Morgan, he moved to several places while he and his wife Diane went to school. They eventually settled for several years in the Boise, Idaho area. “We always talked about moving back to Morgan though, and finally did about 10 years ago,” he said.

In his spare time, Croft loves to play pickleball, exercise, take walks, watch movies, clean and organize things.
