Unfortunately more emphasis is placed on sports and state testing scores than true academics, critical thinking skills and long range higher education. The counselors do very little when it comes to college application awareness, helping students be aware of scholarships and encouraging quality higher level education. GPA is not weighted, thus not encouraging a more challenging course load.so very disappointed!!!

Wasatch High is great. Throughout my sophomore & junior year there I've seen how wonderful the staff is and how far they will go to help you out. I had a really low GPA when I entered high school and Wasatch High School was the school that helped me raise that GPA up. Students there are great & welcome new students with a friendly attitude. I love Wasatch High and I'm going to miss it when I graduate.

I enjoyed everything that wasatch had to offer. I went to that school from 2003-2005 and I loved every minute of it. The staff was unbelieveable and I wouldn't change anything about it.

I went to that shcool when I was about 15 and I can tell ou that the education is way better than any school I've gone to. They always try to help you and no matter how sad you are they're always there to make you smile. I loved that school and I was sad when I had to move. Things happen and you never forget the memories and good times you have. It's great to know that Wasatch is one of the top schools in Utah. I loved it there so hopefuly your children will love it there. I know they will always have a helping hand if they go there I can tell you that much.
