My name is Zachary Hayes and I grew up in Shelby.  I graduated from The University of Montana Western in the Spring of 2015 with a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education.  Before attending UMW, I spent two years in Oregon at George Fox University.  While there, I met my wife Jennifer and we have been happily married for four years.  I have three dogs, Buster, a yorkie, will be three years old in October. Jakers Sir Wags A Lot is an AKC registered black labrador and just turned two in April.  The third dog?s name is Tucker. My wife and I rescued Tucker from a shelter in Dillon Montana and he turned one in the spring.  Besides spending time with our dogs, my wife and I enjoy going on hikes, hunting, fishing, golfing, and playing basketball.  I am extremely excited to be back in Shelby teaching at the school that helped to shape who I am today.  I am looking forward to this school year and many more to come!
