Shelly Reed Gillespie

I graduated from the University of Utah in 1974 with a B.A. in English and a secondary teaching certificate. Taught both Middle School and High School. Earned my Masters in Education from the U. of U. in 2002 and taught at Jordan High until my retirement in 2011. Retirement has been a blessing, but biggest blessing has been my two grand daughters born after I retired. Luckily, they live here in Utah and I love being grandma. I also get to travel to see family, so am enjoying all of it.

Your classmates are like extended family in some respects. We were all thrown together from the time we were five until young adults. We grew up and experienced that amazing time in the world and here at home collectively. Although some memories have faded or have disappeared completely until mentioned, much of it will stay with me forever and though not perfect, an invaluable part of my life's history. Thank you Granitians!!
