Student leaders Noah Peay, Annie Cummings, Dayana Garcia, Ezra Rock, and Kahea Hales presented to the school board regarding Shoreline. This presentation was supported by Language Arts teacher Mrs. Valletta and Mrs. Storey, who helped prepare the students for the experience. Principal Hirschi noted that such opportunities help students develop skills in public speaking, professionalism, confidence, and leadership.
Eighth-grade STEM students attended the Utah STEM Expo, which served as an opportunity for students to explore new ideas outside of a traditional classroom setting. Chaperones included Mrs. Benson and Mr. Hirschi. Additionally, Mr. Hirschi attended a statewide training session with school counselors, including Mr. Perrero, Mrs. Bradley, and Mr. Sekaquaptewa.
