Utah County high schools do not have their own detail pages on this site yet, so explore the wider market on our Orem area page. Some central Orem addresses route to Orem High instead of Mountain View, and boundaries shift over time, so confirm your exact address with the Alpine School District. You can read up on the junior high on our Orem Junior High page.

Utah County voters approved splitting the Alpine School District into three smaller districts beginning with the 2027 to 2028 school year. Orem is slated to join the new Timpanogos School District, alongside Lindon, Pleasant Grove, and Vineyard. School assignments are expected to carry over at first, but future boundary decisions will move to the new district.
