Bingham High School is both old and new. The school, organized in early 1908, was originally located near Bingham Canyon to serve families from the mining towns of Bingham, Copperton, Lark and surrounding rural areas. Bingham High students were known as "The Miners" because of the importance of copper mining to the local economy.
2008 marked the school's 100-year anniversary. A lasting reminder of Bingham’s remarkable milestone was the creation of the Centennial Plaza. Located in front of the school by the flag poles and paved with Lasting Legacy Bricks engraved with the names of contributors, this landmark also included the 10-foot bronze statue of a Miner, the schools long standing mascot. The statue was designed by Stan Watts.
