Ibapah Elementary School replacement is on its way!

Tooele County School District celebrated the groundbreaking of the new Ibapah Elementary on April 12, 2021, at 1 p.m. The Ibapah Eagles grabbed their shovels for the greatly anticipated groundbreaking ceremony for their new schoolhouse.

The current facility is a unique two-room schoolhouse that has served the students of Ibapah and surrounding areas for the past 61 years. The school has reached a point where it no longer meets today’s building standards and does not fully support our educational curriculum.

The new building will have three classrooms, a multipurpose room, kitchen and food storage area, media center with lab, and an area for teacher collaboration. New playground equipment will also be installed. The current school was built in 1961 and has an ideal capacity of 40 with 4,907 square feet. The new building will be 9,047 square feet with a capacity of 60 students and is expected to open in February of 2022. This construction project will cost approximately $4 million.

Currently, we have our foundation slab poured and timber going up! Check out https://www.tooeleschools.org/apps/pages/IbapahElementaryConstruction for drone footage and updates as the project moves forward! GO EAGLES!
