Jeremy Craig
South Jordan Principal
My interest in teaching actually began after completing high school. I discovered that some of my most enjoyable classes in college had less to do with the subjects themselves, and more to do with how my professors engaged us as their students with what they were teaching and how they taught it. I was fascinated by the talent many of them had to create meaningful connections with their students. That idea sparked a desire in me to pursue a career in education. This is my ninth year at Hawthorn.
