Scholars make the gradeState and school district assessment directors have long preached the value of a rigorous course schedule. There's a direct correlation between taking a tough high school schedule and scoring well on standardized tests and college-entrance exams. It also portends a successful college experience. A new effort launched Thursday will encourage Utah students to take tougher classes in high school to better prepare for the workplace.

Robert Bussen's mind. About a decade ago, a Deer Valley Mexican couple commissioned an icon of Our Lady of Guadalupe for the new St. Mary's. And with it, the burgeoning Latino community in "lily white" Park City found a place to call home, Bussen says.
