School History
Shortly after the Mormon pioneers settled
Morgan Valley, four educational districts were established throughout
the valley. Forty-five years later the district was consolidated
to a single district.
The early beginning of the high school education
included an eighth grade education. It was housed in the county
courthouse. The curriculum included theology, the New Testament
and Book of Mormon, grammar and composition, arithmetic, geography,
bookkeeping, penmanship, and music.
The first high school building was built
in 1911. The first class had 22 students. Four years later, under
the supervision of H.B. Fry, the construction of the M on the hill
above the high school began. What was known as “M” Day
became an annual tradition as each class made a trek to whitewash
the letter and cement a section of rocks to give the project permanency.
The cementing was completed in 1953, but the annual cleaning, whitewashing,
and face lifting is still observed each year.
During the early years of the twentieth century,
the Transcontinental Railroad intersected the valley. It was not
until the completion of the Interstate highway (I-84) in the early
1960’s that there was an influx of new residents. This impact
of growth encouraged a need for a new building. The completion of
this new building was in 1965.
There have been three additions on the high
school since its original construction. These additions have added
several classrooms, a new commons area, central offices, a counseling
center, a new fine arts area, and renovation of the media center
and science rooms.
Today, under the leadership of Principal Kenneth G. Adams and Vice
Principal Renn Hoopes, the school employs 90 faculty and staff members.
Curriculum ranges from welding and cooking to calculus and college
humanities courses. The institution serves more than 670 students
who are involved in the pursuit of scholastic excellence and extracurricular
prowess.
Morgan High School is steeped in tradition. From the foresight of
the original pioneers to today’s explorers of technology,
the people of the valley have a deep belief in the value of public
education. They understand the need to prepare upcoming generations
for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
