Education has been a top priority in Salt Lake City since its earliest days. The first Mormon families held classes in 1847 with pioneer Jane Dillworth in her tent, and by 1850 many schools had already been built across the valley. The territorial legislature created the office of the superintendent of schools in 1851. Throughout the latter half of the 19th century, intense debate over how children should be educated — shaped by both LDS church influence and the growth of private Protestant schools — defined the region’s educational landscape. Below are rare historical photos of schools in Salt Lake City from the early 20th century.
