Provo.com · The district split, one lookup

Find your city. See which district runs its schools now, and which one runs them in 2027.

Utah's largest school district stops existing on 1 July 2027, and three new ones take over the next morning. Fourteen Utah County cities change hands. Eleven do not, and half the confusion about this story is people in the second group thinking they are in the first.

What this page is, and what it is not

Which district a Utah County address belongs to today, and which one it belongs to after Alpine School District dissolves on 1 July 2027. Boundary studies inside each new district may still move individual schools; the city-to-district assignments below are the district lines, not school attendance areas.

If your city is on the unchanged list, nothing below applies to your child's school. If it is on the changing list, the change is at district level on one date — not a school reassignment, and not this coming school year.

Draper (Utah County portion)

Today: Alpine School District

From 1 July 2027: Aspen Peaks School District

Draper straddles the Salt Lake–Utah county line. The portion inside Utah County has always been Alpine territory rather than Canyons or Jordan, and it moves to Aspen Peaks with the rest. Some summary lists of the new districts omit it; the district's own announcements and the naming coverage include it.

The six districts, and what each one is doing

Starts 2027 · Central and north

Aspen Peaks School District

The largest of the three successor districts. Takes over schools in Alpine, American Fork, Cedar Hills, Highland, Lehi and Utah County's slice of Draper.

Starts 2027 · West

Lake Mountain School District

The west-side district: Eagle Mountain, Saratoga Springs, Cedar Fort and Fairfield, covering the fastest-growing corner of the county.

Starts 2027 · South of the split

Timpanogos School District

The smallest of the three: Orem, Lindon, Pleasant Grove and Vineyard, the established north-valley cities immediately above Provo.

Dissolving · Northern Utah County

Alpine School District

Utah's largest school district, and the one being dissolved. It runs every school in the three successor areas until the final day of the 2026–27 year.

Unaffected by the split · South Utah County

Nebo School District

South county, from Springville to Goshen. The split does not touch it, and its boundaries on July 1, 2027 are the boundaries it has now.

Unaffected by the split · Provo

Provo City School District

Provo only. Independent of Alpine for generations, unaffected by the split, and dealing with the opposite problem — falling enrollment.

How the split got here, and what is still ahead

  • November 2024 Voters in northern Utah County approve splitting Alpine School District at the general election.
  • November 2025 Twenty-one board members are elected at the municipal election — seven for each new district, all at once, because there is no existing board to stagger terms against.
  • 25 November 2025 All three new boards are sworn in and begin meeting. Aspen Peaks makes its name permanent in late November; Lake Mountain follows in December.
  • January 2026 The Timpanogos board votes to adopt its placeholder name permanently, the last of the three to settle its identity.
  • June 2026 The three boards ratify a resource-distribution agreement dividing Alpine's assets, liabilities and teacher benefits. Superintendents are now in place at all three districts.
  • 30 June 2027 · still ahead The last day Alpine School District exists. The 2026–27 school year runs from start to finish under Alpine.
  • 1 July 2027 (a Thursday) · still ahead Aspen Peaks, Lake Mountain and Timpanogos assume all K–12 operations. Alpine School District ceases to exist.

The four things parents keep getting wrong

  • The coming school year is not affected. The 2026–27 year runs start to finish under Alpine. The handover is the morning after it ends.
  • Changing district is not changing school. Your child's building, teachers and attendance area do not move because the district line moved. What can move them is a boundary study, which each new district runs separately, and which is the process worth watching.
  • Provo and Nebo are not in this. Provo City has run its own district for generations and Nebo covers the south county; neither is part of the split, and neither changes on 1 July 2027.
  • No tax rate has been set. Three new districts will each set their own, and until a board actually adopts one, any figure you read is a projection.

Where the assignments on this page came from

City-to-district assignments follow the three districts' own published coverage areas and the naming coverage of January 2026, cross-checked against this site's district pages. Nebo's roster follows Nebo School District's own boundary description. No personnel and no tax rates are carried here — both change between deploys; read them on the district pages, which are dated.

The rest of the schools layer

25 municipalities, 6 districts. This page carries no superintendent names, no board rosters and no tax rates — all three change between publications, and all three are on the district pages, dated. District lines are not school attendance areas: confirm your child's school with the district before you act on anything here.
