Aloha! My name is Julie Hancock and I teach grades 7-9 girls physical education as well as Fitness. This is my 7th year teaching at Vista Heights and I love it here! I grew up on the island of Maui and attended BYU-Hawaii where I graduated with a bachelors degree in Exercise and Sports Science. I also have a masters degree in Secondary Education from the University of Phoenix. I have lived in Hawaii, California, Fiji, Arizona, and now going on my 8th year living in Utah. I love the outdoors and love being active. I play basketball any chance I get. I have been coaching basketball for the past 10 years. I am passionate about teaching and love working with youth. It is my goal that each student find some type of physical activity that they can enjoy lifelong and create healthy habits now, that can contribute to a sustained happy and healthy lifestyle longterm.
