Mandy Wallace has been a resident of Mountain Green for 20 years. She lives with her husband Seth, 5 children, and 2 large child-like dogs. Due to the growth in the valley over the last 20 years, she has had the unique opportunity to have her children attend all 5 public schools in Morgan County. This has given her great insights into each beautiful school's various strengths and values. Mandy holds a Bachelor's Degree in Sales & Marketing from Weber State University and has worked in the Real Estate industry for over 20 years while raising her children. This has allowed her to serve the community in many capacities over the years, including on many PTSO committees, community council, the MHS scholarship board, as a Republican caucus delegate, and volunteering in countless classrooms. Her current assignments on the school board are to serve as the Co-Chair of the Morgan Education Foundation and the Chair of the Sex Ed Committee. As the most junior member of the school board, she has enjoyed attending various educational opportunities such as state and national level board training, volunteering as a Joint Legislative Committee delegate, and attending the USBA Delegates assembly last year, where she learned a lot about the legislative process and its effect on public schools. She looks forward to continuing to serve the people of Morgan County.
