When Mr. Lou Crandall left Springville High School at the end of the 2014-2015 school year to teach photography at Saint George’s Desert Hills High School, administration found a replacement in a young teacher from Logan, Utah.  Her name is Ms. Beth Hansen and this is her first year teaching at a high school.  Previously, she taught photography at Utah State University, but moved here over the summer after three years of working with college students.  According to Hansen, moving was something she grew accustomed to during her childhood.
