Leading by Example: Assistant Principal Goes Above and Beyond for Student Success

At JATC South, commitment to student success is at the heart of everything they do, and Assistant Principal Stewart Hudnall exemplifies just that. In a recent inspiring act, he stepped in to support aspiring cosmetologists in the hair design program when they faced client cancellations. Without hesitation, he allowed a student to cut and bleach his hair, enabling her to earn essential hours toward her cosmetology license.

But Mr. Hudnall didn’t stop there! When other students encountered similar challenges, he eagerly volunteered again, letting one student give him a stunning leopard-print hairstyle that showcased their creative talents. And as if that weren’t enough, he welcomed the nail tech students to give his nails a fabulous makeover with fun star designs.

Through these selfless acts, Mr. Hudnall not only provides valuable hands-on experience for the students but also demonstrates his unwavering commitment to their educational journey. A big thank you to Mr. Hudnall for his incredible support, being a good sport, and dedication to student success!

Monte Vista Elementary Becomes National Unified Champion School

Inclusion was a cause of celebration at Monte Vista Elementary School. The Mustangs’ unified sports program was named a Special Olympics National Unified Champion School. The designation is given only to schools that demonstrate a commitment to inclusion by meeting 10 standards of excellence. Among the standards achieved, Monte Vista provided a Unified Sports program for its students, showcased inclusive youth leadership, engaged the entire school in activities, and demonstrated a commitment to the sustainability of the program.

Students participating in the program were honored at a surprise assembly with a celebration tunnel and a banner unfurling. Several Monte Vista alumni who are now in middle school even returned to participate in the ceremony.

Monte Vista will be joined by Daybreak Elementary this year as the first two elementary schools in Utah to be given the National Unified Champion School banner. Oquirrh Hills Middle School, Riverton High School, and Copper Hills High School have also been awarded the designation in Jordan School District.

Great job, Monte Vista students, staff, and parents, on an amazing recognition!
