The Utah All-State High School Art Show is a prestigious annual juried exhibition established in 1971 to honor the best high school student artists in Utah. It is hosted by the Springville Museum of Art.

Riverton High School student Ruby Driggs and her oil on canvas painting called “A Sweet Reflection” was selected by Congressman Burgess Owens as his first-place award for Utah’s 4th Congressional District. Ruby’s artwork will be displayed for the 2026-2027 school year at the United States Capitol Building in Washington D.C.

Another first-place winner from Jordan School District is Herriman High School’s Sadie Henderson who is the overall winner in the Utah Senate Visual Art Awards for her piece “Emerald Lens.”

The Utah All-State High School Art Show serves as a professional forum for students to display their work, build their résumés, and compete for scholarships and awards.

A total of 34 works of art by Jordan School District students are featured in this year’s show. The exhibition at Springville Museum of Art runs from January 31 – March 20, 2026.

Congratulations to all of the incredible student artists!

It’s a dream for students, a trip to a store stocked with toys and a pile of cash to spend. The Coyote Den Store fulfills that very wish for its students at Copper Canyon Elementary. Generous donations have stocked the student store with stuffed animals, games, candy bars, and art supplies. 

Students earn Den Dollars for going above and beyond in their classroom. Faculty can reward a student who exhibits great behavior, helps a fellow student, or picks up trash on the playground. The Copper Canyon student council assists in running the store, escorting each class in, taking money, and helping younger students shop.

Jordan Academy for Technology and Careers (JATC) hosted an open house for high school students to learn more about the programs available to them next school year. Teachers and current JATC students were on hand at both the West Jordan and Riverton campuses to discuss the benefits of their classes, answer questions, and provide insight into possible career paths.

JATC offers more than 40 classes in a wide variety of programs, including aviation science, aerospace engineering, landscape architecture, nail technician, barbering, welding, fire science, and more. Interested students can learn more about the programs and apply at jordantech.org. Applications close on February 16.

The Jordan Education Foundation has been busy visiting schools, handing out check grants awarded to teachers across the District. With the community’s help, JEF has so far distributed $578,335 in grants for the 2025-26 school year. The donations have helped 1,327 teachers bring learning instruments and experiences into their classrooms, such as 3D printers, earthquake simulators, accessible coding robots, applied science materials, podcasting equipment, and more.

Thank you to the Jordan Education Foundation for all of their hard work on behalf of teachers, students, and families in Jordan School District. Their dedication is paying off in the classroom every day!
