The Alpine School District Board Meeting held on December 17, 2024, marked a significant moment as it was the final meeting for board member Sarah, who has served for eight years. The board took time to recognize her contributions, highlighting her impact on student achievement, teacher effectiveness, and stakeholder engagement throughout her tenure.

During her time on the board, Sarah played a crucial role in navigating various challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, during which Utah experienced less learning loss compared to other states. Under her leadership, the district expanded full-day kindergarten to every elementary school, a significant achievement that benefits early education.

The board also noted the construction of several new schools during her tenure, including two high schools—Sky Ridge and Cedar Valley—and the rebuilding of Lehigh High School. Additionally, two middle schools and nine elementary schools were built, along with several rebuilds of existing facilities. These developments have positively influenced thousands of students and staff within the district.

As the meeting concluded, the board expressed deep gratitude for Sarah's service, acknowledging the collective effort involved in the district's progress. The meeting ended with a celebratory atmosphere, including a group photo to commemorate her contributions.
