ABOUT CANDIDATE

Dr. Mark
Clement

Dr. Mark Clement is a Computer Science Professor who is committed to education. He started serving on the Alpine School Board in 2011 and is currently the President Elect of the Utah School Boards Association. He has 9 children who all were educated in Alpine District.

While serving as a board member for Alpine School District and as chairman of the School Community Council at Pleasant Grove High School, I have emphasized parental involvement in local decisions. Significant improvements in achievement have occurred as parents, teachers, and administrators work together.

Living in Lindon for the last 28 years, I have seen my 9 children (ages 20 to 39) thrive in Alpine District public schools. I support efforts to offer a rigorous math and science curriculum, and know the importance of strong sports and arts programs because my children have benefited from them.

As a Computer Science professor at BYU, I understand the educational requirements and opportunities associated with careers in science, technology, engineering and math. I would like to increase the use of technology to provide a learning experience that is customized to the needs of the individual. My professional experience has given me insights into the skills students need to learn in high school in order to be successful in college and university studies.
Quality education is crucial in helping our country be competitive in a global economy and I am passionate about creating excellent opportunities for our children in Alpine District.
