CEDAR CITY — Summer vacation is over and the new school year has begun in Iron County.
Wednesday marked the first day of the 2024-25 academic year — a fresh start for nearly 13,000 students as administrators and teachers focus on fulfilling their mission statement: “Iron County School District supports families in developing college and career readiness by building knowledge, skills and relationships for all.”
With school back in session, motorists are being reminded to pay extra attention while driving and obey all traffic laws.
Below is a sampling of reader-submitted photos in response to Cedar City News’ call for back-school photos on Facebook.
