The Merrell Family

About me

Introduction Hollis and I met at Eastern Arizona College, and have been married for 17 years! We have 4 wonderful children Bryana age 15, Dallin age 14, Brittlee age 12, and Jace age 9. After we were married, we moved to Tucson while Hollis went to U of A! I had never been to Tucson until then! I learned to love it there, and it is still one of my favorite places to visit! When he graduated in Ag Education, he got his first teaching position in Young. We enjoyed living there for 3 years. Hollis then was hired as the Ag Teacher at Snowflake High School. So, we decided to live in Taylor for the next 9 years with our little family. After teaching for 4 years, he became the vocational director/assistant principal. We also decided that our family of 6 had outgrown our mobile home, and started to build a home in Snowflake (my home town). My Dad/Grandpa Smith is building our new home! We are so thankful for him! Hollis was hired as the principal for Joseph City High School in July '04, and is currently the Superintendent there. We enjoy working on our new home with Grandpa Smith. We are getting very close to moving in, and can't wait for everyone to come visit!!!
