Jaycee Hafen

Mrs. Hafen grew up in St. George/Ivins, UT, attending Lava Ridge and Snow Canyon High School. She received her Bachelor’s in Education from Dixie State University. While in college, she met her wonderful husband, Brady, who is also a teacher. Brady taught 3rd grade at Red Mountain Elementary for several years and now teaches 4th grade at Legacy Elementary.

Mrs. Hafen is starting her 10th year of teaching and has experience teaching 5th grade and 6th grade Language Arts at Lava Ridge. This will be her second year teaching 7th grade. She comes from a family of teachers, including her dad, Mr. Jolley, the art teacher at Lava Ridge.

Mrs. Hafen and Brady welcomed their first child this past spring, a baby girl named Stevie. They have two dogs, Penny and Pax. Mrs. Hafen enjoys spending time with family, reading, listening to music, playing board games, anything ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Disney’, traveling, cooking, gardening, and hanging out at the pool, lake, or beach. She loves Coke and Rootbeer (especially from Swig), good snacks, and trying new foods. In her free time, Mrs. Hafen can usually be found with a big drink or soda, a snack, and a really good book, preferably by the pool, or hanging out with family.
