As Cohen Bartley watched the reenactment of Navy Seal snipers rescuing Richard Phillips from the threat of Somali pirates, as portrayed in the biographical action thriller, “Captain Phillips,” he knew a life of service was for him. As a member of the inaugural class of Jordan’s High’s Naval Defense Cadet Corps Program, Bartley is already well into his military career. He’s enrolling in the Utah Army National Guard’s ROTC program while attending Utah State University on a scholarship. After graduating...
For Dawson Douglas, high school was more than a test flight, it was where he gathered speed for takeoff. The Alta High graduate credits the mentorship of teachers like AP Physics teacher Matthew Stanford and AP Calculus teacher Angela Price for helping him reach new heights. A little hard work also went a long way for the aspiring U.S. Navy pilot. A multi-sport athlete, Douglas recounts his time going for three on the basketball court, the roar of the crowd on the gridiron, and the adrenaline of...
Imagine standing on the same stage as Elphaba and Glinda, having just watched them perform such seminal classics as, “Defying Gravity,” “Popular,” and “For Good.” For seven-year-old Tessa Osborne, that’s all it took — a backstage tour of Salt Lake’s Capitol Theater — to know, “this is what I want to do.” Since then, she has worked toward that goal, becoming a star in her own right for Alta’s High’s Theater Department. Osborne placed first in this year’s regional musical theater competition and medaled...

Layton says it has proven to be more than just a sport, even a mentally demanding one at that. “There are so many life lessons and life connections,...
When Tyree Pearson steps onto the gridiron wearing that blue and orange, everything else melts away. He’s in his element, connecting with his teammates and hopefully getting in a good quarterback sack or two. “My Dad got me into football,” he says, “and I just love the crowd cheering us on, all the sweat and tears that goes into it. Football takes my heart away, I’m in love with the game.” Football has taught Pearson about discipline and hard work. He even stays after practice to get in a few more...
When Abbey West first walked through the doors of Jordan High, she never would have imagined her high school career would turn out the way it did. When she was playing tag with some friends, Beetdigger Coach Christian “Babo” Babinski asked her if she’d ever considered wrestling. She hadn’t but thought, “What’s the harm in trying?” Four years later, she didn’t just excel on the mat, she earned consecutive bouts in state championships, culminating in the state champion title in the 105 lb. weight class...
