A new home is always about more than just the house. It’s about summer nights around the fire pit. Hosting the big family Thanksgiving for the first time. Pizza for an anniversary dinner because the babysitter was sick. A new home is about the future. A big part of that future is the schools that your children will attend. Which is why this week we want to showcase the public schools in West Jordan. This week we will focus on the schools in our Aurora Heights community.
