They set out to showcase the best of the best of Bingham High School and they did it in a big way. Last week’s “Bingham Highlights” event was a huge success with more than 200 students participating along with teachers, staff, families, and members of the community. This was an opportunity to showcase a wide variety of departments at the school and allow parents to explore course offerings and connect with faculty. They also used a “passport” system as a way to get students to engage with every department represented.

This proves, once again, it is always a great day to be a Miner!

The Year of the Horse is almost here! Chinese Dual Language Immersion (DLI) students at Eastlake Elementary, Mountain Creek Middle, and Herriman High School combined for an entertaining and educational cultural celebration of the Chinese New Year. Children in attendance received a passport to travel around Herriman High and learn about Chinese culture and history, play a game, or grab some dinner.

Inside the auditorium, students from all three schools performed songs, dances, and musical numbers. Current students also spoke about what learning Chinese has meant to them, while alumni described how the DLI program opened doors to them in college and the workforce since graduation.

Happy Chinese New Year! 新年好!

School counselors are always ready to help students, whether it’s preparing them for future careers, academic advising, help with social/emotional needs, or ensuring students become productive, well-adjusted adults of tomorrow.

School counselors make a difference in the lives of Jordan School District students and they are always there to support the work being done in all of our schools.
