Fort Herriman Student Named Ambassador for Peace by Utah State School Board

Fort Herriman Student Named Ambassador for Peace by Utah State Board of Education Congratulations to Abigail Owens of Fort Herriman Middle School, who has proudly been named Utah’s distinguished finalist, or “Ambassador for Peace,” for the 2025 “Do The Write Thing” scholarship program. This recognition highlights her exceptional writing and deep understanding of the impacts of violence in today’s society.

The “Do The Write Thing Challenge,” sponsored by the Utah State Board of Education Prevention and the National Campaign to Stop Violence, provides seventh and eighth grade students with an opportunity to reflect on how violence affects their lives and communities and what they think can be done to create a safer environment for youth.

Great job, Abigail, for exemplifying what it means to be an “Ambassador for Peace.” You serve as an inspiration for everyone in our state.

Valley High Connects Students with Their Futures at College and Career Fair

Valley High Job Fair Local businesses, colleges, and job recruiters filled the halls of Valley High as a part of their College and Career Fair. Dozens of booths hosted groups hoping to connect the school’s students with prospective employers and post-secondary educational opportunities.

This year’s fair featured diverse community and educational partners, including local businesses, colleges, technical schools, cosmetology and barbering schools, as well as representatives from federal, state, and local government agencies. This variety provided students with a wealth of opportunities to explore different career options. CTE teacher Lindsay Walker worked painstakingly to build partnerships that brought many groups to the event.

Students were invited to on-the-spot interviews, allowing them to demonstrate their skills and enthusiasm directly to potential employers. After the interviews, many students left the fair with a second job interview lined up.

This year’s College and Career Fair was an empowering experience for students as they start their futures outside of high school. Thank you to all the Valley High staff, local companies, and groups who helped create this fantastic event.
