- Rock Solid Kindness: We support each other and build a caring community.
- Rockstar Effort: We give our best in learning, leading, and helping others.
- Rolling Out New Ideas: We’re creative, curious, and always ready to try something new.

Special Recognition - Scott Knight (BTS/Music)
At Oakcrest Elementary in West Jordan, the sound inside the gym said it all. A roar of cheers and dozens of students on their feet, all excitement for one person: Music teacher Scott Knight.
In front of his students, Knight was honored for his impact. He was presented with a director’s chair, along with additional gifts and experiences to support his program. He also received a $1,500 donation to help continue building opportunities for his students.
The moment was emotional, but for Knight, the focus quickly returned to the kids. He says seeing students grow in confidence and discover who they are is the most rewarding part of the job. And judging by the reaction inside that gym, the feeling is mutual.
Scott Knight’s story is a reminder of what can happen when a teacher goes above and beyond — creating not just performances, but lasting impact.
