KINDERGARTEN

Hello Promontory!

​

My name is Maegyn Hunt (formerly Ipsen), and I’m so excited to be returning to Promontory! I’m newly married and currently writing this bio from my honeymoon in beautiful Alaska. I’m starting this school year with a full heart, a fresh perspective, and so much excitement for what’s ahead.

This will be my sixth year teaching. I’ve taught both special and general education, and I previously worked at Promontory in the Special Education Department with K–2 students. I’m thrilled to be back and to be joining the kindergarten team!

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Special Education from Utah State University, where I was honored to serve as Valedictorian of both the Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and the Special Education and Rehabilitation Program—go Aggies! I also hold a Graduate Certificate in Elementary Education from Weber State and a Master’s degree in Special Education from Southern Utah University.

I’m especially excited to be part of a school that values hands-on, place-based learning, and I can’t wait to learn and grow alongside you this year.

Outside of teaching, I love exploring the outdoors and spending time with my three rescue pets—two dogs, Riley and Bandit, and a cat named Taco. Some of my favorite hobbies include hiking, scuba diving, snowboarding, traveling, and wildlife photography.

Here’s to an amazing year of learning together!

Lydia was born and raised in Box Elder County. She is married to her best friend, and they have two amazing dogs together. She is so excited to make Kindergarten a fun and enjoyable experience by having hands-on learning. Her hobbies include; hiking, baking, playing tennis, and reading. One of her favorite quotes is, "She believed she could. So she did." by R.S Grey.
