Forty- Two Year Degree

Carrie and Steve Hislop with two of their children
and some of their grandchildren.

For 42 years Carrie Hislop took one class a year towards her goal of becoming an elementary school teacher. She and her husband Steve raised children and farmed too.  She was a Head Start teacher for a time and now, in addition, Carrie works full time for USU Extension and helped to build up the 4H program in Rich County.  She also had time to be a grandmother and do Church service.

In 2012, she began to take more classes and began to see the goal posts.  This Saturday, Carrie Hislop graduated with 1400 students from Utah State University College of Education.  "She persevered!" 

What a wonderful example Carrie Hislop is.
