Congratulations Class of 2022!
I want to give a special thanks to the graduating class of 2022. Don’t forget the unique experiences that you had at Park City High School. Stand tall and never underestimate what you are capable of and the impact you will have on the world. We will miss you.
Roger Arbabi, Park City High School Principal
You have demonstrated all of the characteristics that make the PC Miners great: persistence, resilience and commitment. As you move forward to 2-year or 4-year higher education, gap year, religious mission, entering the world of work, trades or military service, we are cheering you on and know that you are well prepared.
We remain your biggest cheering section as you embark on your next step.
Together, you’ve shown your talents, skills and accomplishments in academics, athletics, activities and the arts.
We’re so very proud of you,
