School districts county-wide will hold a moment of silence in remembrance of Sept. 11, 2001.

Park City High School

Park City High School U.S. History teacher Alyssa Smith said she encourages discussion and students will watch video footage of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Smith has focused her curriculum around the terrorist attacks and will start a unit on terrorism next week.

Most of Smith’s students only remember certain images from the day because they were so young.

“It’s a challenge conveying that to them. It’s history to them, not a current event like it is to you and me,” she said.

In 2001, Smith was a junior at Park City High School, and she remembers walking into physics class and feeling violated as she watched the camera footage on TV.

South Summit High School

South Summit High School will have a moment of silence on Friday, Sept. 9 at 9:11 a.m. in honor of the victims of 9/11.

Government teacher Cody Bowen said he will lead a discussion and offer a slideshow presentation to remind students about the events that unfolded that day.

“I hope it gets them a little emotional about what happened. Ten years have passed and we’re getting to the generation that was here, but most of them didn’t really live through it,” he said.

Bowen will ask his students how the presentation makes them feel and how they would respond to a situation like this if they were in a leadership position.

“I try to make it: how do these events change the way you live and how can we be supportive,” he said.

North Summit High School

North Summit High School Principal Russ Hendry said the school will hold a moment of silence in the morning on Friday, Sept. 9.

North Summit High School Journalism teacher Caroline Willoughby said the school newspaper is doing a question-of-the-week in honor of 9/11.

“We’re asking students where they were and what they were doing and how they remember 9/11,” she said.

Willoughby said her students wanted to do a special tribute.

“We were looking for a way to honor the day and we thought that would be a good way to have a lot of input from students,” she said.

Park City Day School

The Park City Day School held an assembly for its students on Friday, Sept. 9, in remembrance of 9/11.

Park City Day School Assistant Tess Miner-Farra, said the assembly focused on the World Trade Center Memorial and 10th Anniversary of 9/11, along with one of the schools core values: compassion.

“Compassion for those who lost so much on 9/11 and for those whose race and religion provided grounds for intolerance and discrimination, fueled by fear and ignorance in the aftermath of 9/11,” Miner-Farra said.
