They are coming together as team, ready for a fantastic school year! “Team Daybreak” kicked off the year with an inspirational assembly led by Herriman High School head basketball Coach Doug Meacham and some of his players. They gave students some pointers on what it takes to be a team player and talked about how good grades and academics are just as important as playing sports and athletics. The basketball players also reminded students the importance of always being kind.

Thanks to Coach Meacham and his players for taking time to inspire young students, and helping “Team Daybreak” get the school year started on a positive note! We hope it’s a winning year for everyone.

Thanks to everyone who came together to support students and teachers in the classroom. Fox 13 held a “Back to School Blitz” collecting school supplies like backpacks, lunchboxes, crayons, notebooks, colored pencils, and so much more. The community responded in a big way to show how much they care about students and teachers in the classroom. The supply drive benefited students in Jordan, Murray, Granite, Canyons, and Salt Lake City School Districts.

Jordan School District was excited to be a part of the event and we are so proud of our high school SBO’s and cheerleaders who showed up at the Smith’s Marketplace in West Jordan to participate as well. The students’ energy was contagious and it proved how much they appreciate the community and how much they are anticipating the new school year.

Thanks again to everyone involved for making difference in the lives of Utah students and education.

They did a great job getting everyone revved up for a fun and successful new school year. That’s because Fort Herriman Middle School’s “Back to School Night” included a pretty cool car show. About a dozen cars were on display including a modified school bus, Model-T, Corvettes, and a Zombie Jeep.

The fun didn’t stop with the cool cars. Ross Rodgers was on hand to DJ the event, Assistant Principal Tim Heumann was manning the grill on hot dog duty, and they were serving up popcorn and snow cones on the side.

What a great evening and wonderful way to welcome everyone back and get students excited about the 2024-25 school year.

Well done, Fort Herriman Middle School!

It was a fun and exciting day as 400 new teachers were welcomed into the Jordan School District family during a big celebration event in their honor.

A drum line, cheerleaders, mascots, students, administrators, city officials, and more all lined up to greet the new teachers as they arrived at Bingham High School for a welcome program and new teacher induction. It was a great day recognizing teachers and the large number of college graduates now getting into education.

Wishing all of our teachers a successful, safe, and fun new school year
