Inside Park City High School, officials tested 900 students on Monday, while in the parking lot outside, TestUtah staffers ran a free community testing clinic. The “Test to Stay” program aims to keep schools open even as the district weathers the largest outbreak yet.

Park City’s secondary students returned to school on Monday after nearly two weeks of remote learning, but as per usual during the pandemic, it was far from a typical school day.
Throughout the morning, the district summoned 900 students from Treasure Mountain Junior High School and Park City High School to the high school gym for rapid COVID-19 antigen tests on the first day of what officials call the “Test to Stay” program.

South Summit Superintendent Shad Sorenson gave his resignation a few months ago to accept the job of Chief Human Resources Officer for the Park City School District.
“ I’m looking forward to that opportunity to continue to work in Summit County. It certainly was not a decision that was easy for me,” Sorenson said. “I love what I’m doing, and I love the Kamas Valley. I have a master’s degree in Human Resources and I believe there is a time and season for all things and believe that Dr. Herase is going to bring some assets and skills to our district that is going to benefit us at this time and hope that I am able to provide that same positive contribution to Park City School District.”
