My name is Nick Hansen. I have been given the great opportunity of being the new principal of Butterfield Canyon. When the school first opened in 2006, I taught 4th grade under the wonderful Mrs. Davis. I have the utmost respect for her and appreciate her service. I have been in education for 10 years and have worked in many different schools throughout the valley. Most recently, I was the assistant principal of Foothills and Herriman. I also welcome this opportunity to come home, and look forward to working with you to provide ideal educational experiences for your students.
I currently live in Eagle Mountain with my beautiful wife and three children, ages 4-9. When I’m not at school: I can be found riding my bike, running, working out, reading good books, jumping on the tramp with my kids, and hanging out with family.
Thank you for making Butterfield Canyon your school of choice and for entrusting us with your children.
I look forward to working with you. You can e-mail me at nick.hansen@jordandistrict.org, call me at 801-254-0737, or call our head secretary Connie to make an appointment.
