When she’s not at Gateway, you can usually find Mrs. Richards exploring the rugged beauty of Southern Utah—either on her own two feet or behind the wheel of a Jeep! 🥾⛰️
For Mrs. Richards, adventure is a family affair. Her "hiking crew"—her husband, three daughters, and best friend—loves exploring Coal Creek and Crystal Springs. She’s even conquered the iconic Subway in Zion four times! 🌊🧗♀️
One of her wildest trail memories? Watching a flash flood begin from a safe high point, seeing instant waterfalls pour into the canyon. When she’s not hiking, she’s rock crawling through Sand Hollow on trails like Wayne’s World and Double Sammy. 🚙💨
We love having a leader who is always ready to explore new heights. Help us give Mrs. Richards a shout-out in the comments! 🙌✨

What a way to wrap up School Choice Week! We had such a wonderful morning seeing our hallways filled with Donuts with Darlings. From the first bite to the last sprinkle, the smiles said it all.
Thank you to all the "Darlings" who joined us this morning. You made our final celebration truly special. We love our Gateway community and the choices that bring us all together!

Our student officers traveled to the Utah State Capitol for Charter Day on the Hill. It was a powerful day of celebrating school choice and seeing firsthand how our state leaders shape the future of education. From touring the rotunda to meeting with officials, our board represented Gateway with excellence!
So proud of these young leaders for being the voice of our school today. 🐝📖
