A High School Visioning Summit was held on Sept 8, 2007 at Sandy High School with John Weekes, the principal architect from Dull Olson Weekes Architects (DOWA). Sponsored by the Oregon Trail School District, the forum offered an opportunity for all citizens to provide input for the creation of a vision to guide the development of plans for a new high school.

VOTE (Value Oregon Trail Education), the political action committee dedicated to getting a new high school built for the Oregon Trail School District, had its kickoff last weekend at the Sandy Mountain Festival starting with a float in the July 12 parade.
