Dear South Hills Families,

The South Hills Middle School Community Council is a team comprised of parents and teachers who directly impact the direction of academic programs and goals of the school. The Council also plays a key role in the establishment of safety programs and the spend plan for the school’s state LAND Trust budget. LAND Trust plans made by the Council are submitted to and approved by the Jordan School District School Board, as well as the Utah State Board of Education.

The Council meets four times during the school year. Meetings start at 4:30pm in the Main Office Conference Room. Our meetings for the upcoming school year are:

  • October 5, 2023

  • November 16, 2023

  • January 25, 2024

  • March 21, 2024

We would love to have your perspective and voice on the Council!
