Dianne Adler
Teacher – ELA
English
Work Email:
I was born and raised in Salt Lake and graduated from Highland High School. I attended Christian-Albrechts in Kiel Germany and the University of Utah. I graduated from the U with a Bachelor of Arts degree with an English major. Later I graduated again from the U with a Masters of Education degree. For the past twenty-nine years I have taught English at Evergreen Jr. High. Once it was decided that the 9th grade would move to the high school, I chose to move along with the 9th graders. My passion is my family and I love our get-togethers. After that I love to travel and have spent my summers traveling throughout the world with my favorite travel partner, my husband. I look forward to teaching English at Olympus.

Carrie Miller
Resources Teacher
Resource
Work Email:
I have a degree is Natural Resource Management from the University of Utah. I spent 7 years trapping, hiking and climbing trees for the Forest Service as a Wildlife Biologist to band hawks and our team was able to get one off of the Endangered Species List. I broke my neck, so the next logical step was to of course teach. Oddly, teenagers are a lot like wildlife. I have a SPED and ESL Endorsement and have taught with Granite for 17 years. I am very excited to be working at Olympus.

Keith Smedberg
Teacher – Library Media

Mr. Smedberg loves teaching (and summers!) He taught for 2 years in Chicago then moved "out west." He taught Science for 17 years before getting into the technology craze, then did a stint at an elementary school, got a Masters degree and a Library endorsement and is now The Librarian here at Olympus. Teacher Librarians are also the "tech person" in schools. He enjoys sharing how to use media for teaching and learning. What he likes most is the variety of daily challenges but he misses getting to know the students. Come see him in the Library!

Milton Watts
Teacher – Computer Science, Engineering
CTE
After a successful career in industry as an electrical engineer, programmer and engineering manager I was given the opportunity to come back to high school to encourage others along their way. I've always loved working the technical side of the stage so being able to work in the brand new Olympus High Performing Arts Center is an added bonus. My greatest satisfaction is being able to make a difference in someone else's life.
