Средняя школа Олимпа - это государственная средняя школа в Школьном округе Гранит в Холладей , штат Юта , пригороде Солт-Лейк-Сити .

Школа открылась 1 сентября 1953 года, первоначально в ней обучались 1028 учеников. Осенью 1960 г. был зачислен самый большой класс второкурсников (выпуск 1963 г.) в истории штата Юта (около 935 человек). Два года спустя перенаселенность уменьшилась, когда был построен новый Skyline High. В апреле 2013 года новое здание средней школы Olympus было открыто для классов, прилегающих к исходной школе. Первоначальное здание было снесено после 60 лет эксплуатации. [2]

На протяжении всей своей истории Олимп был одной из ведущих академических государственных средних школ штата. В 1961 году его оркестровая и вокальная музыкальная программа была признана одной из лучших в стране Фондом Форда, который профинансировал проживание композитора для школы, награда была разделена со школами во всем округе Гранитной школы.

Football[edit]

Historic rivalry

Considered one of the greatest rivalries in the state of Utah,[11] "the Rock" is the prized rivalry trophy between Olympus and Skyline football. It is a football-shaped piece of granite, which local lore states was taken from Mt. Olympus in 1962, prior to the first contest between the two schools. The winning school paints the Rock in their colors and displays it in their trophy case. Skyline maintains the edge, 26–23–1, but Olympus has won the Rock 7 years in a row. The two programs will have their 51st regular-season meeting in 2017.
