South Valley School

South Valley has been a part of Jordan School District for more than 30 years. It first existed as a sheltered workshop (which was "cutting edge" at that time) and was known as South Valley Enterprises.

In 1985 South Valley School (SVS) was born, embracing a new emphasis of community integration. Our focus expands beyond the school building walls and reaches out into the community around us. This is accomplished through community access, community experiences, and community employment.

We also have an interesting, historic background about our school building and the land on which South Valley School is located and the people involved.
