Superintendent Report 

Partnership with University of Utah: 1:07:40

•  Today, seniors who met the requirements received admittance letters from the University of Utah. This is a reliable assurance of admittance to other public state institutions these students apply to because of the higher standards of admission at the University of Utah. It’s remarkable to be in Provo with such great collaboration with multiple universities in the area like U of U, BYU, UVU, as well as MTech and others.
