Mr. Olson has only been teaching at OJH for a short time, but he loves the students and the community. After teacher at other schools for the first part of his career, he was shocked when his students actually said, "thank you" as they were leaving the classroom on the first day at Oly Jr. He also loves working with the teachers and staff at OJH. They are intelligent, witty, and dedicated.
He enjoys reading, writing, and above all, learning. He's been going to school for 23 years and is still a student! He's attended the University of Utah, Utah State, and Brigham Young University. He would get a degree in everything if he had the time and money.
