HUGE WELCOME to our new Weights/PE Teacher, Business Teacher, and Head Boys Basketball Coach! We're absolutely thrilled to introduce Coach Craig Morris! Born in West Valley City and a proud Hunter High School alum, he knows Utah hoops! He went on to play DII ball at Dixie State (now Utah Tech), so he's definitely got the on-court experience. For the past six years, Coach Morris has been sharing his knowledge as a high school basketball coach (with Cedar Valley and Corner Canyon girls) AND as an adjunct professor at UVU in Strategic Management and Operations. Talk about a well-rounded leader! Coach Morris earned his Master's in Business Administration from Clemson University after getting his undergrad at Utah State. Smart AND skilled – we love it! While Coach Morris and his awesome family have spent many summers at their family cabin in Pine Valley, they are making the move to the Kamas Valley. Let's give them a HUGE South Summit welcome!
