They are high school students hoping to pursue a career in hair and nail design, making their mark on the industry someday. But this week they used their incredible talents to create frightening looks as part of a creative school Halloween costume contest. This year’s theme was “Out of this World.” The students worked in teams, some of them painting scary acrylic nails worthy of Morticia Addams. Other students designed updo’s that defied gravity and they applied makeup transforming their fellow team members into characters truly out of this world.

Congratulations to everyone who participated, demonstrating amazing talent and creativity in a Spooktacular way!

Members of the Jordan School District Board of Education recognized some amazing students at Tuesday’s monthly business meeting.

The Board celebrated Copper Hills High School. Student representatives said they are proud to be at Copper Hills High, a school where they say everyone is welcome and student achievement a priority.

The Board also recognized JSD high school Unified Soccer Teams, from Riverton High School, West Jordan High School, Copper Hills High School, and Herriman High School, who took the field at the state preliminary competitions recently.

The Herriman High School Unified soccer team was at the Board meeting and they stood to be recognized for making it to the State finals held at the America First Field, REAL Salt Lake Soccer Stadium in Sandy.

Around 100 community members gathered at Sunset Ridge Middle on Saturday morning to witness an annular solar eclipse as it passed over Utah. The school’s staff was there to hand out proper solar viewing glasses and science teachers shared their knowledge of the celestial event.

Sunset Ridge Middle School staff did a great job getting the community together for a fun and educational event. April 8, 2024, will be the next time students in Jordan School District can see an eclipse, with only about 48% of the sun covered while the moon’s shadow passes over the Wasatch Front.
