Biography

Hello! I'm Joleen Clark, and I'm thrilled to be your child's STEM teacher! This is my third year teaching STEM at Mountainville Academy, and I truly love working with our incredible students and staff. My passion is making science, technology, engineering, and math come alive through hands-on experiments, creative problem-solving, and engaging engineering challenges. I believe every child is naturally curious, and my goal is to inspire that curiosity by encouraging exploration, critical thinking, collaboration, and a lifelong love of discovery.

Last year was full of exciting new opportunities! I launched our after-school Anatomy & Dissection Club, where students explored the fascinating structure and function of organs like the heart and eye through hands-on classes. I also started Mountainville Academy's after-school Robotics Team and had the privilege of coaching our students as they competed in a couple of robotics competitions. Watching students grow in confidence, teamwork, and innovation has been one of the highlights of my teaching career.

Outside of school, I've been married to my best friend for 34 years and am blessed with three amazing grown children and five wonderful grandchildren. My husband and I raised our children in Fort Collins, Colorado, before moving to Utah over 4 years ago to be closer to family. In my free time, I enjoy singing, playing the piano, cooking, reading, board games, traveling, and making memories with friends and family. One of my favorite places to visit is our second home in Indiana, where I get to spend precious time with my grandchildren. If I'm not in Utah, I'm in Indiana!

I am committed to creating a classroom where every student feels challenged, supported, inspired and loved. I can't wait for another year of building, designing, experimenting, and learning together. It's going to be an amazing year!
