INTRODUCTION TO TINTIC SCHOOL DISTRICt
Tintic School District was founded in 1914 when school districts in Eureka, Knightsville, Mammoth, Silver City, and the West Desert were consolidated along Tintic High School (1912) boundaries in western Juab County in Utah. When the district was first founded, it served a large number of students from workers in the Tintic mining district. Now Tintic School District has a much smaller population but is a large district geographically, covering over 2100 square miles with communities in western Juab County, Eureka, Trout Creek and Callao. There are two high schools (Tintic and West Desert) and two elementary schools (Eureka and West Desert). These communities are separated by more than 135 miles, much of it on dirt and gravel roads. This presents a challenge to provide a modern high-quality educational experience for all students in the district.
