Bingham High School is both old and new. The school, organized in early 1908, was originally located near Bingham Canyon to serve families from the mining towns of Bingham, Copperton, Lark and surrounding rural areas. Bingham High students were known as “The Miners” because of the importance of copper mining to the local economy. Today, Bingham High is in a beautiful rural setting in South Jordan where the school serves a mix of rural and suburban students. The current Bingham High, built in 1975, is a two-level facility situated on a 42-acre campus. The Bingham High goal is to prepare graduates who are capable of assuming productive roles in the community.
