Teacher Spotlights


Katie McBride

I was born and raised in South Jordan, Utah which is also where I currently reside. I graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in special education with a severe endorsement. I am currently in my 5th year of teaching. Previous to Riverton High School, I taught at Bacchus Elementary in Granite District for three years before moving to Kauri Sue Hamilton last year. I also love to coach and do so every chance I get. I currently coach a competitive softball team and have high school experience coaching basketball and softball. Some of my favorite hobbies include: bowling, playing softball, camping, fishing and spending time with my dog Manny. I also like long walks on the beach, skipping to work and jamming out to Bon Jovi in my classroom.

Hey Silver Wolves!

Do you want to be part of a club with super fun activities and tons of fun people?  Then join FCCLA!  We are a Family and Consumer Science (FACS) based organization that gives members the opportunity to expand their leadership potential and develop skills for life.  Here is some information about our upcoming FCCLA activities and things that have been going on in FCCLA at Riverton High.

            In October our activity focused on the National Program Student Body. Student Body is all about teaching members the importance of a healthy lifestyle and how to achieve it. For our Chapter activity we created a number of mini stations with activities that promoted a healthy lifestyle. The activities included hopscotch, four square, and Just Dance. Following the activity we provided healthy snacks like chips and salsa, as well as fresh vegetables and a delicious dip.
We also went to Cornbelly's for a Region Activity. Cornbelly's was a fun and exciting opportunity for our members to meet and make new friends from schools within our region which include Bingham, Copper Hills, Grantsville, Herriman and other high schools.  

Every year, as a Chapter we participate in the Festival of Trees.  Last years instead of making and donating a tree we made stuffed felt and fabric monsters dolls for children. These monster dolls are adorable and teach members valuable skills that they can use to be future homes which is one of our goals in FCCLA. We will be holding two activities in November for members to work on and complete monsters and other projects to donate. Once completed, our chapter will take a fieldtrip to Festival of Trees. Be sure to listen to announcements and look for posters in the halls for more details.

Just a reminder to students that are interesting in joining FCCLA.  We are still currently accepting applications!  It’s not too late to join in the fun.  You can pick a form up from any of the FACS teacher. Make sure you pay the $20 fee in the main office and return the receipt application to Mrs. Giron in room #1520.
