HIDDEN HOLLOW NEARLY COMPLETE -- In 2006, Alpine School District voters passed a $230 million bond and leeway to pay for new buildings, additions and remodeling projects including a new elementary school in Eagle Mountain that is nearly complete, and a new high school in Saratoga Springs.
David Holdaway, Alpine School District's director of physical facilities, said a recently completed addition to Eagle Valley Elementary school should ease congestion in the Cedar Valley area. "[Eagle Valley Elementary] is only about three years old and the growth out there ... went well beyond our expectations," Holdaway said. The new Eagle Mountain elementary school near Unity Pass has been christened Hidden Hollow. Holdaway said it is about 75 percent complete and will be ready to open for more than 800 students in August. The new high school in Saratoga Springs will ease congestion at Lehi High when it opens in fall of 2009. Debbie Taylor, president of the Alpine school board, said the board is excited to see the new buildings go up and is hopeful that the district's five-year plan will help meet growth needs. "We bonded so that we wouldn't have to bond really quickly. We know there will have to be another bond down the road," Taylor said. 5K CONTEST RESULTS RELEASED -- Pony Express Days 5K Race winners are for the men's category; first place, Matt Dorton; second place, Brian Chidester; third place, Justin Wight.
