Successful Learners are: Dedicated to Excellence - United in Service - Educated for Success

Suzette Hartvigsen

Mrs. Hartvigsen has returned, except this time as our new volleyball coach! If you don’t know coach Hartvigsen, you should because she also teaches health, fitness for life, and weight training here at Springville High. When she’s not coaching, she’s a full-time mom with three children. She has plenty of experience coaching volleyball; she coached from 88-89, but had to give it up to coach softball. She was very disappointed she had to leave it behind; but, when the job opened up here at SHS, she jumped at the chance.

Coach Hartivigsen hopes the team will place top two in region and compete in the state tournament. Coach Hartvigsen said this when asked about her coaching philosophy, “I believe the athletes themselves, their goals, and needs come before winning. Wins are fun, but it’s more important to learn how to be a team.” Her favorite aspect of coaching is the camaraderie she has with the girls and the opportunity to spend time with them. When asked if she wanted to say anything to her players she said, “I admire their courage and strength, and I look forward to helping them achieve their goals.” So come support not only our volleyball team but our new volleyball coach, Mrs. Hartvigsen!
