Mr. Hobbs' Lion Story
I came to Utah on a missions trip my last year of high school. While I was here, I saw the immense need for evangelism in the valley. While I was in college, I still had the desire to return to Utah someday and assist in church planting. I applied for a job at ICS which "just so happened" to be looking for a social studies teacher. I got the job and moved out here (after picking up a wife at an internship along the way - love you, Sara!), and I am convinced that I am precisely where God wants me and my wife.
Mr. Hope's Lion Story
After teaching in Alaska for a couple of years, God took me back to central Texas to teach at the school I grew up in. I found that I dearly missed the lifestyle of the outdoors and living near mountains. I happened upon ICS in a search for Christian Schools looking for music teachers in the Rocky Mountains. I called the school and introduced myself. Just a couple of months later I was excitedly moving from Austin to Salt Lake City to be the new band and choir director at ICS.

“…college coaches are actually more interested in players who play multiple sports because they have more of a tendency to always compete.”
TOP 4 WAYS TO BEAT THE SUMMER SLUMP
“As a busy parent, who hopes to create a reading culture for your family, you might need to multi-task while read-aloud is happening. Instead of being the voice reading the story, allow an audible device (car, Audible App or CD player) to play that part. While prepping for dinner, folding laundry or driving to dance class, you, along with your children, will have the opportunity to hear exceptional vocabulary and the templates of beautiful language patterns.”
