CTE Students Explore Careers and Educational Opportunities at SheTech Explorer Day

The future of technology is being shaped by students throughout Jordan School District at the SheTech Explorer Day. This year, an impressive 472 high school CTE (Career and Technical Education) students from across JSD traveled to the Mountain America Expo Center in Sandy to participate in the expo, an event dedicated to activating interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) careers.

The CTE students dove headfirst into high-tech, hands-on workshops, from the precision of robotics and coding to the creativity of digital design. Jordan School District students didn’t just observe—they built, programmed, and collaborated. The SheTech Explorer Day is designed to get students excited about complex career fields and turning “emerging technologies” into practical skills they can take back to their classrooms and future jobs.

Thank you to all the teachers, bus drivers, and CTE educators who helped make this year’s expo memorable.

Copper Hills High School Students Kicked Up Their Boots for National FFA Week

The media center at Copper Hills High School transformed into a country western dance floor this week as the school’s FFA chapter celebrated National FFA (Future Farmers of America) Week with a high-energy line dancing workshop. This after-school event wasn’t just about mastering the “grapevine” or the “pivot turn”; it was about building community and camaraderie that defines the Future Farmers of America. Students laughed as they found their footing and showcased their style. By the time the music faded, the Copper Hills FFA members had not only gained some impressive new moves but also strengthened the bonds that make our chapter stronger.
Keep up the great footwork, CHHS!
