West Lake Jr High Replacement
After sustaining significant damage in the 2020 earthquake, and settling with the district’s insurance provider, the Granite Board of Education has opted to rebuild West Lake Junior High School on its original site.
The new West Lake building will take advantage of architectural plans from an existing Utah middle school building. That school (Hidden Valley Middle School) was completed in 2020, and uses a next-generation layout that supports current and future learning activities. Enhanced security is a priority, and learning communities are simplified to increase the usable collaborative and breakout spaces while reducing the overall building area and building cost.
Anticipated Timeline
- August/September 2021 – Building abatement
- October/November 2021 – Building demolition
- Mid-November 2021 – New building plans finalized
- January 2022 – Construction bids received; construction commences in line with winning bid

Is Granite School District Raising My Taxes?
Is Granite School District raising my taxes?
NO, here’s why your tax notice looks like that’s happening:
- When voters approved the 2017 Granite Bond the district promised to shift the debt levy to the capital levy when bond payments began to decrease.
- We are now fulfilling that promise, which allows school building projects to continue.
- Your tax notice may give the impression of an increase, but your tax rate as charged by Granite will stay the same.
- Other factors (especially home value) may affect your tax payment, but as for your property tax rate to Granite School District, there is no net tax increase to you.
Please join us for an informational Q&A meeting on the capital levy shift and your tax notice:
