Alta High School Library Staff

Jenny Olsen, Teacher Librarian

​Mrs. Olsen is in her 21st year of education and her eighth year at Alta High! After graduating from Brigham Young University in English Teaching, she got her first teaching gig at Hunter Junior High School. Following that she taught at Jordan High School for 11 years. During that time she received both a Masters in Business Administration and a Library Media Endorsement. If you ask her, she has the best job in the whole school!
​
When she's not reading mystery novels, Mrs. Olsen enjoys spending time with her family--including her husband and four kids, traveling, and good movies.

Michelle Armstrong, Library Media Assistant


​Hi I'm Michelle Armstrong, I have been with Canyon School District for eight years. I'm happy to be here and to finally say I'm an Alta Hawk. I have three children--two girls and a boy. Two of them, including my husband, are alumni of Alta ; my youngest is attending here as a junior. I love the sun, I enjoy watching movies, and I cherish being with my family.

Alison Memmott, Library Media Assistant

Hello!  My name is Alison Memmott.  I am excited to be joining the library staff at Alta.  I have a long history with Alta.  I graduated from Alta a really long time ago; I have been working as a substitute teacher here for the past five years, and my three kids are all Alta Hawks – two have graduated and my youngest is a junior.  In high school, my favorite book was The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton.  Today, my favorite book is East of Eden by John Steinbeck.  I tend to read a lot of historical fiction and mysteries, but I love talking about any book. In addition to reading, I see a lot of movies and plays; I love all the holidays, and my favorite thing is to spend time with my family. 

Nikki Millet, Library Media Assistant

Hi! My name is Nikki Millet. I graduated from Alta years ago so I’m a HAWK through and through! I am a mother of 4 kids. Three of them have graduated from Jordan High and 1 is going there now. I’ve been married for 27 years. My husband and I enjoy all kinds of outdoor activities like camping, hiking, backpacking, and mountain biking.  My favorite sports are football and hockey. We love the Utah Utes and the Boston Bruins! My regular weekly job is in Real Estate but I am so excited to be here at the school part time. When I’m not busy with all that, I do love to read.  I could never pick a favorite book so working in the library is perfect because I get to browse everything.
