About Our School

West Lake STEM is a 7th and 8th grade middle school in West Valley City that is devoted to the processes of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields as the platform for instruction in the Utah Core Standards. Students at West Lake STEM participate in group projects and simulations in problem-based learning experiences that help them to think critically and solve complex problems.

Improving academic mastery in science, technology, engineering, and math will be a key factor in ensuring the stability of economic growth and job creation in the country. West Lake STEM prepares students with the knowledge and skills that are necessary to take up occupations that are becoming increasingly difficult to fill. With the demand for STEM workers expected to rise in the coming decades, students need project-based and experiential learning in preparation for the workplace.

West Lake has a rich history. It was originally constructed in 1964 and celebrated its 50 year anniversary in 2015. In 2016, the Granite Board of Education identified it as its first junior high STEM school. West Lake was remodeled to help create an environment more conducive to students exploring engaging questions and then sharing out or even defending their reasoning to others.

West Lake STEM is home to the Mighty Mustangs, and we feel honored to advance this chapter of West Lake’s powerful legacy.

Mission

West Lake STEM empowers students to achieve their personal best through a discovery-based, collaborative approach as used in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.

  • Create a united West Lake STEM community
  • Use our time effectively
