Michelle Smith - Box Elder High School

This week's teacher feature award goes to Michelle Smith a financial literacy teacher from Box Elder High School. It was a big decision to leave a higher paying job to be a teacher. A decision that is not all that common. Mrs Smith just believes that the money isn't what it's all about. Principal Gary Allen says that "Mrs. Smith has brought a standard of excellence and she expects a lot from her kids and they love her."

Michelle Smith receives a special recognition award from Zions Bank, an overnight stay at the Anniversary Inn, dinner for two at the Roof Restaurant downtown, and two season passes to the new Hale Center Theater. At the end of the year, one lucky teacher will win the lease of a new car provided by Burt Bros. Tire and Service.

KSL NewsRadio and Zions Bank are proud to honor Utah's best teachers with the KSL Teacher Feature Awards! Since 1994, Teacher Feature has highlighted outstanding teachers throughout the State of Utah. Winning teachers are announced every Tuesday morning, September through June, on Utah's Morning News with Brian & Amanda.
