Aleksa Allen

PE Teacher

I am so excited to be joining the Canyon Rim family this year! My name is Aleksa Allen, and I was born and raised in Utah. 

Lacrosse gave me the chance to play collegiately out of state, where I found success both on the field and in the classroom. I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology and Pre-Art Therapy from Lindenwood University in St. Charles, MO, and my master's degree in Liberal Studies from Rollins College in Winter Park, FL. While I have degrees in many different avenues, my one true love is sports! I love teaching life lessons through the lens of team sports. I am a true believer that sports teach students to stay healthy and active while building skills in teamwork, communication, and integrity. 

I am so excited to share this passion with the students of Canyon Rim this year! Outside of school, I am the assistant coach for the women's lacrosse team at Westminster University. I also enjoy reading, drawing, spending time with my family and pet dog and cat, Benji and Milo.
