A big congratulations to the Bingham High School girls cheer team led by coach Amber Thomas! The incredibly talented team earned a first-place spot, taking home the 6A All-Girls State Championship title during the recent State competition at UVU.
The Miners won two of three individual categories (Sideline/Timeout Cheer and Show,) which helped them win the 6A all-girls state championship.
Congratulations also go out to Riverton High School cheer for bringing home 2nd place in the 6A Co-Ed competition and to Mountain Ridge High School cheer for taking 5th place in the 6A All-Girls competition.
This is the third year the UHSAA has sanctioned competitive cheer and handed out state championship trophies.
It was a night of culture and tradition as hundreds of students, teachers, staff, and members of the community all came together for the 2025 Chinese New Year Celebration hosted by Mountain Creek Middle School. This is the ‘Year of the Snake,’ which symbolizes wisdom, transformation, and growth in the 12-year lunar cycle calendar.
Students from Eastlake Elementary School, Herriman High School, and Bingham High School were all featured at the Chinese New Year Celebration. They took the stage in cultural performances, with dragon and lion dances, music, and much more. There were traditional crafts and games along with fabulous food for everyone to experience.
Congratulations to everyone for sharing such rich culture and lots of fun at a fabulous event!
