WELCOME TO ALPINE ELEMENTARY, MISS LARSEN!

GOODBYE TO AN AMAZING MAN

For eight WoNdErFuL years, David Stephenson has been the principal at Alpine Elementary! Mr. Stephenson graduated from Utah State with a master's degree...and we were his first school!
Mr. Stephenson is from Nephi (where my mother is from) and when I told my mother who my new principal was, she said he was somehow related to me, but she didn't know how. Well, my great great grandparents are Mr. Stephenson's great great great grandparents! When he was a little boy, he used to mow my grandma's lawn! The first year was a hard one...he commuted round trip every day from Nephi to Alpine! The next year, he was building a home in Highland, and lived in a trailer park and motel while it was being built!
When you say Mr. Stephenson, you immediately think of his love for each student in our school...it was aMaZiNg that he knew every kid's name! He landscaped our school, and made it a showpiece both inside and out! I was thankful after his first year that he would drive up to attend my father's viewing.
Mr. Stephenson attended Clear Creek eight years with us! He always got in and helped, interacted with the kids, danced, did skits, taught "Uncle Bay", ran the movie, entertained the kid's so the teachers could finish eating...and, made more than one trip to the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon with a sick kid to meet their parents.
Mr. Stephenson is loved, and will be greatly missed! Good luck with your brand new school...Traverse Mountain Elementary, near Cabela's. Don't ever forget us!!!

How could you NOT miss this man?
