Jayson Marchant

Fifth Grade Traditional Teacher

I have been married to my beautiful wife now for 27 years. We have 3 children Alec (25) who is a computer programmer, Aubrey (20) who is a nurse, and Aidan (16) who is a Junior at Snow Canyon High School and runs Cross Country and Track. I graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in Liberal Studies (Teaching), after a 5th year of Student Teaching in Kindergarten and 6th Grade, I earned my teaching certificate (this is how they do the teaching program in California). We then moved to Las Vegas where I taught 1 year in 5th Grade and then had an opportunity to teach 8th Grade Science and 6th Grade Math at a new Middle School. After 2 years, we decided to move to St. George where I taught at Panorama (5th Grade) for 3 years and then at Diamond Valley for 15 years teaching 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grades. I have a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership and Endorsements in Gifted and Talented, STEM Education, and Educational Technology.
