Lauren Nielsen is a champion for all students at the home of the Knights. Nielsen, a seventh-grade Utah Studies teacher, tailors her instruction to fit each student’s aspirations, interests, and needs. She shields her classroom with kindness, ensuring all who enter acquire the courage to try hard things. “Mrs. Nielsen is an amazing teacher,” wrote one of her students in a nomination for Albion Middle’s Teacher of the Year honor “She makes her classroom feel safe, and I love the way she teaches. She always listens to what students have to say. And she makes me love what she teaches.” Indeed, she’s a Knight in every sense, leading the charge for the school’s musical, cross-country team, Girls on the Run, and the prestigious Noble Knight Awards. By arming students with confidence and defending those who need support, she is a true force for positivity in the Albion community.
