EAGLE MOUNTAIN, Utah — The Alpine School District School Board has unanimously approved the $12.9 million dollar purchase of a plot of land on the west side of Utah County near Brookhaven Elementary. The district says it's very early for them to share specific details about the purchase, but it is large enough to build a high school.
The district says they are currently informally studying student populations at the two high schools on the west side of the county: Westlake High School in Saratoga Springs and Cedar Valley High School in Eagle Mountain. The district added they have short-term plans to formally study adding a satellite to Westlake High School, which currently has about 2,9000 students, to plan for increasing enrollment.
"I don't know if this specific location is ideal, especially with three schools in less than a mile radius. I think it could get really congested,” Strader said. “It’s a pretty intense morning when everybody goes to school, and we just want to make sure it's safe and that we don't have tons of teenagers racing around and somebody getting hit.”
