Fossil Ridge Faculty >> Math >> Mrs. Bistline


bistline Melinda Bistline grew up in the small town of Orderville, Utah. Orderville is so small that her graduating class had 25 people in it! Bistline has five younger siblings, three sisters, and two brothers. Being around them and helping them with homework throughout the years helped her realize that she really enjoys teaching and helping others understand different things, especially math. Melinda just graduated from Southern Utah University in May, so this is her first year teaching. She is very excited to be here at Fossil Rigde! A quote that she really enjoys and trys to follow is by Tim Duncan, "Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best."
