Hello, my name is Chris Joyce. My family and I moved here to the Salt Lake area almost three years ago. My wife and I are both born and raised in Idaho. I started teaching in the fall of 2020. I got my first teaching job with Providence Hall as a p.e teacher. Some of the most influential people in my life were involved with athletics that I played and my education. When I was done playing sports, I wanted to remain involved somehow, and that is what led me to want to teach. I wanted to still be part of the challenges that come with sports as well as be a positive role model for students just like what I had. Most who know me also understand how much I love athletics. Baseball is my favorite and I am working on trying to share that same joy for baseball with my son.
When I am not coaching or being at the school, I am spending time with my family. We really enjoy traveling and playing games. I love Providence Hall because of the amazing friends I have that work with me. I enjoy being with the students that we have and the fun that they bring with them every day to class. I am really sad to not be spending time with my classes regularly now that I am starting my new role at Providence Hall. I am someone who likes routine and this change in the middle of the year is providing me with lots of opportunities to be challenged and grow as an individual.
I am looking forward to getting to know so many of you.
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
