Park City High School Student Council
As members of the Park City High School Student Council, we often get the question: What do we actually do? This year we, unfortunately, weren’t able to put on our usual events such as the homecoming dance, winter formal, bonfire, pep rallies or assemblies. So we had to find other ways to bring students together.
To welcome our students back from summer, we hosted a COVID-safe drive-in movie in the school parking lot. The student body loved a chance to laugh at “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” while enjoying free snacks. After an unexpected ending to our 2019-2020 school year, seeing our students have fun was very refreshing.

The coronavirus pandemic shut down Park City 12 months ago.
Through those 52 weeks, the town’s four biggest performing arts nonprofits the Egyptian Theatre, Park City Institute, Park City Beethoven Festival and Mountain Town Music found ways to keep themselves in the public eye and, most importantly, stay afloat.
While all canceled most of their programming, Mountain Town Music found a different way to bring live music to a small crowd through its Door 2 Door tour, and the Park City Institute and the Park City Beethoven Festival turned to virtual programming.
The Egyptian Theatre, on the other hand, went dark to preserve resources but, like the others, is finding ways to come back.

International Women’s Day was first celebrated in 1911 in Germany, Austria, Denmark and Switzerland. That’s two years after women in America started celebrating a national day for women.
