Born here in Idaho Falls, JoAnna Owens has been teaching for 11 years. For the last two years, JoAnna has been (and will continue to be) one of our Special Education teachers. She graduated from the University of Utah and has a husband and two beautiful children. She became a teacher to help teach students critical life skills and to make sure they know that they always have someone in their corner, willing to help and teach them. Her favorite part about teaching is meeting so many different students and seeing the progress each one makes. She coaches high school soccer, plays soccer, and enjoys camping, 4-wheeling, and snowmobiling. Quotes to live by? “It is what it is,” “Got to keep on, keeping on,” and “Everyday is an adventure!”
