Long-Term Capital Outlook and Planning
Construction has commenced on the new Cyprus High School, and the Magna community and Granite School District are celebrating this momentous step in the school’s 100+ year history.
Cyprus students joined Granite board members, local elected officials, alumni, and community members at the school’s new site (8400 W. 4000 South) to ceremonially turn the dirt that will eventually serve as a foundation for the Home of Pirates.

Skyline High School
West Lake STEM Jr. High
West Lake Family & Consumer Sciences Building
The project is complete and backordered furniture is being shipped as available. This modular building is located on the temporary West Lake campus (formerly Westbrook Elementary).
Taylorsville High School Relocatable Classroom Complex
The project is complete and backordered furniture is shipping. This complex is located on the eastern portion of the campus to accommodate the added students from grade reconfiguration. It features 16 classrooms as well as restrooms. It has colloquially been dubbed ‘The Villa’ by students.
Security upgrades and remodel projects are being completed throughout Granite School District. These projects are made possible in part by the 2017 Granite Bond.
The remodel of Robert Frost Elementary added approximately 700 square feet to the front of the school. The interior was updated so patrons enter the front office to be checked in before gaining access to the building. A new principals office and conference room were created, and the fire alarm system was updated.
The interior of Gearld Wright Elementary was remodeled so patrons enter the front office to be checked in before gaining access to the building. The final piece of the remodel (ADA actuators) is on backorder.
Very similar to Gearld Wright Elementary, the interior of Whittier Elementary was remodeled so patrons enter the front office to be checked in before gaining access to the building. The final piece of the remodel (ADA actuators) is on backorder.
Eastwood Elementary’s remodel reconfigured the entry system so patrons enter the front office to be checked in prior to gaining access to the building. The exterior parking lot space was reconfigured so that school buses no longer need to back up after dropping off students. Handrails for the outside of the building are on backorder.
Bricks are available on the northeast portion of the campus. One brick per person – please be considerate to others who wish to take a brick home.

Skyline High School
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.
