High School students took a trip down memory lane as seniors from Bingham, Riverton, and West Jordan visited the halls of their former elementary and middle schools. Students were greeted by former teachers, staff, aides, and principals to connect one last time before they received their diplomas.

The graduate walk is also an opportunity to inspire the next generation of graduates. Classes from kindergarten through ninth grade stopped to fill the halls to congratulate the graduates and look forward to when they would be wearing the cap and gown.

Thank you for the inspiration, Bingham, Riverton, and West Jordan seniors!

Congratulations Bingham High School Graduating Class of 2026!

The hard work from a year-long class project was dumped into Cove Pond in Herriman at the end of the school year. Students in Mrs. Peterson’s fourth-grade class at Foothills Elementary raised a school of rainbow trout. The project saw the students learn about the life cycle of a fish, seeing them go from eggs to juveniles in the classroom fish tank as the year progressed. For the grand finale of the project, the fish were released into the wild with help from Trout Unlimited and Herriman City. Students got to say a final goodbye to their scaly friends, and each scooped up a trout and sent it down a slide to its new home at Cove Pond. Even Herriman Mayor Lorin Palmer and Principal Abe Yospe got in on the fun.

Teachers and staff at West Hills Middle School took center stage at the school’s year-end assembly, showing off hidden talents that had students cheering and laughing along. Performances included singing, dancing, synchronized swimming, and even a lightning-fast Rubik’s Cube solve. Students also got a surprise visit from Jazz Bear, who energized the crowd with giveaways and presented the school with a $1,000 donation.
