On Tuesday night, the ASD Board approved a plan to help accommodate the growth in north Lehi. The plan is as follows: In order to provide optimal learning environments for students in the growing area of north Lehi, Skyridge High School will open with grades 9-12 in 2016. Also beginning in 2016, students at Traverse Mountain Elementary will feed to Lehi Junior High (no longer Willowcreek Middle). While Willowcreek will maintain grades 7-9, Lehi Junior will house only 7th and 8th grades. In order to accommodate 9th grade students at Skyridge, Alpine School District will add 16 brick and mortar classrooms using capital outlay funds.
Realigning students from Traverse Mountain into Lehi Junior and then to Skyridge relieves pressure on a growing Willowcreek Middle until a new middle school can open, anticipated in 2019. Alpine School District remains committed to providing safe physical facilities that accommodate growing numbers of students and allow full access to a comprehensive curriculum.
Within the next two weeks, a 2016-2017 course catalog will be published on our official website. Skyridge counselors will be holding assemblies with students to give an overview of registration procedures and course offerings. A nighttime parent meeting will be held at a future date.

December 18, 2015—Lehi, Utah
Dennis Meyring has been hired as the Swim Coach for Skyridge High School, currently under construction in Lehi, Utah. The school will open in August 2016.
Coach Meyring is currently serving as the head swim coach and government teacher for both Lehi and Westlake High Schools. When Westlake opened, he embraced this dual role to help build Westlake’s program while continuing to coach at Lehi. He will once again divide his attentions (this time between Lehi and Skyridge) to help build a new high school swim program at Skyridge. Of this new challenge, he says, “It is always exciting to contribute to a new beginning with opportunity for traditions to begin and standards to be established.”
Meyring has been coaching swimming for over 45 years, and has spent the last 22 years at Lehi High. He has been named the UHSAA “Coach of the Year” four times, has helped the Pioneers win 15 Region Championships, and has guided the team to 2nd place in State three times. Prior to coming to Lehi High, Coach Meyring coached for ten years in Oxnard, California and was a graduate assistant coach at BYU.
Coach Meyring was born and raised in Vallejo, California and attended Vallejo College, where he was a five time All American swimmer. He then attended BYU, where he was the WAC Champion in the 200 yd butterfly, 200 yd IM, and 400 yd IM (the first swimmer to win three events in a conference meet). He also qualified for AAU Nationals and the US Olympic Trials and competed in the NCAA Championships. He was named the BYU “Athlete of the Week” on two occasions. He set several high school and collegiate swim records and was the team captain every year in high school and college.
When describing his coaching philosophy, Meyring says, “Swimming requires dedication, commitment and hard work over a long period of time. The program should reinforce the values taught in the home and allow athletes to experience challenges at a higher level and realize the rewards from their efforts. They should come away with lifetime tools that will bring success.”
Skyridge Principal Joel Perkins says, “Coach Meyring is a legend in the swim community, and I am super excited that he is going help us build an amazing swim program at Skyridge. He invests so much in his student athletes and believes in the value of hard work and dedication.”
Coach Meyring graduated from BYU with a major in physical education and a minor in social studies. He and his wife Vicki have twelve children and 32 grandchildren, who are the highlight of his life. He loves vintage cars, and has restored two of his own original vehicles.
