The Uintah High School Student of the Week is Phillip Melander, nominated by Mr. Winder. “Phillip always comes each day prepared to soak up anything we are learning in class,” shares Mr. Winder. “As an exchange student from Sweden, he works hard to overcome language barriers that exist, and asks lots of questions to help gain understanding.” Congratulations Phillip Melander, Uintah Student of the Week!
