For example, the state’s top basketball team, ranked fifth nationally (according to MaxPreps); a nationally leading high school snow sports program developed using the school's own skiing facilities and the exceptional training facilities of the U.S. Ski Team in Park City; the newly established Modern Music Center in August 2019 integrates top music resources from across the country, including support and courses from professors at The Juilliard School and Berklee College of Music, along with full support and collaboration from top music performance training institution Soundhouse; the best speech, debate, and Model United Nations teams in the country; a state-of-the-art visual arts center providing professional guidance and practical opportunities for students with artistic talents; an innovative technology center building and newly completed engineering center for students interested in computers, robotics, rockets, and modern technology; and equestrian facilities with indoor and outdoor riding arenas and over 40 horses.
