The '''Salt Lake City School District''' is among the oldest [[public education|public]] [[public school|school]] [[school district|districts]] in [[Utah]]. Boundaries for the district are identical to the city limits for [[Salt Lake City, Utah|Salt Lake City]]. Employing about 1,300 teachers who instruct about 24,000 students [[Primary education|K-12]], the district is the fifth largest in the state behind [[Jordan School District]], [[Granite School District]], [[Davis School District]], and [[Alpine School District]]. Two of the district's [[high school]]s, East and West, are over 90 years old.
== High schools ==
All [[high school]]s in the Salt Lake City District serve grades 9-12. The district operates three high schools as of 2004: '''East High School''' near the [[University of Utah]] serving the central-east part of the city, '''West High School''' in western [[Downtown (Salt Lake City)|downtown]] serving the north and west area, and '''Highland High School''' near [[Sugar House (Salt Lake City)|Sugar House]] [[Sugar House Park|Park]] serving the southeast. Additionally, the district runs an alternative/adult education school, '''Horizonte High School''', located on Main Street in the south central city.
A high school no longer extant—[[South High School (Salt Lake City)]], on State Street—once served the southern part of Salt Lake City. The district built this school during the [[Great Depression]] to accommodate about 1000 students from the [[private school|private]] LDS High School, which closed in 1931. South High was located in some of the poorer areas of Salt Lake City with a population increasingly devoid of school age children by the 1980s. Falling enrollment throughout the school district prompted the district to close the less influential South High after the 1987–1988 school year. Schools with older facilities, such as East and West, as well as Highland High School received students from portions of the former South High school bounderies. The district donated the South High School school building to the [[Salt Lake Community College]].

In 1999, the district approved a bond that would reconstruct 20 of the elementary schools as well as Northwest Middle School. In addition, two elementary schools were closed for the 2002–2003 school season (Rosslyn Heights in Sugar House and Lowell in The Avenues) while serving as temporary campuses for the reconstructed schools. They were originally going to choose two schools off of a list of eight to be closed, and eventually the school board decided to close Lowell and Rosslyn Heights (the latter of which was not on the list). This aroused considerable protest from parents, teachers, and even board members, and lawsuits were filed against the district. However, they failed to keep the schools open.
