Utah Scholars

Utah Scholars have made the choice to be ready for their futures by committing to take the Utah Scholars Core Course of Study in grades 9-12. This curriculum in within everyone’s reach and will prepare students for what comes next.

Utah Scholars partners school districts with local community and business leaders in an effort to increase the number of Utah students accessing and completing post-secondary education. We are part of the state’s goal to see 66% of Utah adults achieve a college education by 2020. Utah Scholars volunteers encourage students in our partner schools to take the Core Course of Study throughout all four years of high school.

To become a Utah Scholar, students must take the following courses taken during grades 9-12*:

4 years of English
4 years of progressively advanced math (Math through your senior year, including Elementary Algebra (Algebra I), Geometry, Intermediate Algebra (Algebra II) and another advanced math class)

The "Pyramid of Interventions" approach includes being proactive and making interventions that encourage and support the student to be more successful in their learning and personal development.

SDJH Pyramid of Interventions

In educational terms, any action taken to help a student be more successful in school may be considered an intervention.  Interventions are not punishments.  They are strategies to enhance learning, encourage good behavior, and minimize disruption.  The South Davis Junior High Intervention Pyramid is designed to provide options to educators who feel a student may need assistance to be more successful.  If improvements are not shown, a student's situation is reviewed by the Local Case Management Team (LCMT).  This team is comprised of administrators, counselors, the school psychologist, classroom teachers, and a special education teacher.

Parents may not always be notified of minor, classroom-based interventions, but they will always be notified before major changes are made.  Intervention success is a result of collaboration between the LCMT and the parents.  If you would like to know more, please review our Pyramid of Intervention that is linked above, or contact the counseling center or administrators.
