We had eight UCASians participate in multiple events at the recent regional competition of Science Olympiad at Snow College. This was an increase from the six participants last year. In the end, Josephine Chiu and Benjamin Chiu won third place in the Designer Genes event, Porter Mccuistion and Ben Beckham won second place in the Circuit Lab event, and EG Turner and Brandt Wilcox won first in Rocks and Minerals while Lizzie Delong and Jasper Holt performed very well in the Boomilever and Bungee Drop events.

The participants had so much fun! They are excited to prepare and compete in the State Olympiad at Southern Utah University.

SAVE THE DATE: UCAS Building Send-Off Celebration!
📅 February 23 | 4 - 6 P.M.

Big things are happening at UCAS! The original UCAS building is making way for an incredible new facility — and before we turn the page, we’re coming together to celebrate the memories that started it all.

Join us for a special evening to honor the laughter, learning, friendships, and milestones that filled these halls. Pick up a carpet square, write a message on the wall, share a favorite story, and help us give this building the send-off it deserves.

All are welcome — including those who knew it as the Vineyard Annex!

Can’t make it in person? Send us a message and we’ll make sure your words are added to the wall.

Here’s to where we’ve been — and where we’re going! 🎉

Utah County Academy of Sciences

The Utah County Academy of Sciences (UCAS) is a specialized, magnet public high school that provides an unconventional educational opportunity for high school students who are greatly motivated. UCAS provides a curriculum with emphasis in STEM (Science, Math, Engineering and Technology). UCAS works closely with Utah Valley University (UVU) allowing students who have the interests, ability, and desire to move through their formal schooling at an accelerated rate.

UCAS provides an atmosphere that promotes learning. Teachers are skilled in curriculum development and delivery along with research-based methods. Teachers and administrators carefully plan the curriculum and assessment that align with the Utah state core.

The curriculum is consistent with the goals of Early College High Schools and the Curriculum departments offered at UVU. Two major strands of emphasis are offered by the Utah County Academy of Sciences:
– Medical Science and Health Technology intensive strand (UVU School of Science and Health)
– Computer Sciences and Engineering Technology intensive strand (UVU School of Computer Sciences and Engineering.)

While UCAS has a main focus of technical and scientific inquiry and research, other classes will be offered to fulfill Utah State high school graduation requirements to help students become functional, literate, and well rounded adults.
