Park City High School’s National Honor Society is helping to stock Wasatch Back food pantries for the holidays with its annual food drive.
Beginning Dec. 2, students will be at grocery stores around Park City and the Snyderville Basin to collect donations to send to the Christian Center at Park City.
Last year, the program brought in nearly 70,000 pounds of food. This year, NHS Vice President Chase Noteware says their goal is 75,000 pounds, “We collect canned foods, flour, rice, oil, all the staples, but we really put an emphasis on canned foods.”

Tuesday evening, the Park City School Board approved a massive facelift to its high school athletic facilities.
The board greenlit phases one, two and four of a four-tiered upgrades plan, which features new baseball, softball and other fields for its teams.
The board believes construction on some of the projects could take place as soon as next year. The proposal had received support for several years due to Park City’s needs for mountain town-acclimated facilities. The baseball and softball teams, both spring sports, did not host home games until very late in their most recent seasons.

The Park City School District added a second Jewish holiday to the 2025-2026 calendar. However, fall break may not align with surrounding districts.
The Park City School District has closed schools for Yom Kippur, a Jewish High Holiday, since 2022. Now, schools will close for another High Holiday next year: Rosh Hashanah.
Board members advocated for the addition of Rosh Hashanah last month, citing feedback from families and reports of discrimination and antisemitism that came to light earlier this year.

Ecker Hill has voted in a new mascot, Manny the Miner. The district Board of Education unanimously approved Timmy the Timberwolf’s retirement at its meeting Tuesday.
Treasure Mountain teacher Ellie Johnson said the change was spurred by district restructuring. Treasure Mountain Junior High will be decommissioned at the end of this school year and Ecker Hill and Park City High School are expanding to accommodate Treasure Mountain’s students. Ninth graders from Treasure Mountain will move to the high school and eighth graders will attend Ecker Hill. Teachers will also move to corresponding schools.
