LAYTON -- News about a 62-year-old Layton High School teacher's marriage to an 18-year-old is rippling through the student body, and emotions are ranging from surprise to anger to fear.
Joseph K. Everton Jr. was placed on paid administrative leave last week from his job as choral director at the high school pending the outcome of school district and police investigations. Everton married Maria Ann Henzi on Sept. 25, in Clark County, Nev., just three months after she graduated from Layton High and two months after she turned 18.
