Tracey Nelsen

School Director

I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Family and Human Development from Utah State University a long time ago!  

After graduation, I worked with autistic kids in an early childhood education setting.  It was hard work but so rewarding!  

I took a break from education to be a full time mom for 18 years.  I have 5 kids, 4 boys and 1 girl and I love being a mom!  During those 18 years, I worked hard to teach my own children and spent 15 years working with different charter schools.  

I am a founding member of two charter schools in Utah and spent 12 years as a board member at Venture Academy in Marriott Slaterville.  

I returned to teaching at Greenwood in 2016.  I am so thrilled to be a part of Greenwood.  I taught a 5/6 split in elementary for a year followed by 2 years of middle school English at Greenwood before taking the Director’s position.  

I recently completed my Masters Degree in Educational Leadership. I have a passion for teaching and for working with children.

I love that I get to work with amazing students and staff everyday at Greenwood!
