Why Utah?

To new students - You are probably asking yourselves  
"Why am I going to Utah?"


Utah is a very unique state. It is the only state that you will find every type of terrain!!  This allows for a huge variety of activities all year round and beauty everywhere you go!

The state is also full of American History. There are many historical sites to see all over the state.

There are also many malls, theaters, restaurants ect...




 Another very unique aspect of High School life in Utah is all the dances!!!  Almost all high schools have dances every other month. Some have one every month. Students in Utah go to the dances with friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, as a group... it really doesn't matter. They go to have fun and dance and enjoy the day. Most dances are preceded by a daytime activity i.e bowling, movie, go-carts, mini golf ect...  with the group you are going to the dance with.





 As most American High Schools in the bigger city areas there are many sports, clubs and classes to choose from at school.  But remember just because sports are offered does not guarantee you will be able to participate. They are highly competitive and the coach decides what is best for the team.




And as if those things were not enough... there are still more activities to be found if you just look...





The best thing you can do is make A LOT of friends.  Friends will be able to give you the best experience while you are here.
