The Open High School Mission Statement

The Open High School of Utah is putting the focus where it should be – on the student.

Our mission is to facilitate lifelong success by meeting the needs of the 21st century learner through individualized, student-centered instruction, innovative technology, service learning, and personal responsibility.

The Open High School Web Site Gets a FaceLift:
Stop by and take a look, then let us know what you think! There are archived newsletters, parent testimonials, volunteer opportunities, and much more. You can also follow us on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook!

Showcasing our School:

Please invite your State Representative and State Senator to visit the Open High School of Utah booth at Charter School Day at the Capitol on February 18th from 12:00-2:00.

Find your legislators
, and then send a personal invitation as a follow-up to the general invitation that the school sent to each Utah Legislator on January 21st. You could also include a personal anecdote, why you appreciate having options in education, why you chose OHSU or what your student has gained as a result of being enrolled in OHSU.

Helpful Hint: Always include your name, address and contact information in your communications with legislators. They receive hundreds of e-mails a day and your contact info allows them to easily determine which ones are from constituents and which ones are not.

The Open High School of Utah is a public charter school funded by taxpayer dollars which are appropriated by the Utah Legislature.

New Student Registration:
The Open High School will be holding its first registration for NEW 9th & 10th grade students for the 2010-2011 school year on FEBRUARY 20th. (Additional lotteries may be run if necessary.) Encourage your interested 9th and 10th grade friends and neighbors to visit our Web site or e-mail the Registration link to them today.

Siblings will be eligible for priority consideration prior to February 20th, so register them as soon as possible too.

RETURNING STUDENTS HAVE UNTIL FEBRUARY 8th to submit their Priority Registration to reserve a slot for next year.
