Olympus High School is a public high school in the Granite School District in Holladay, Utah, a suburb of Salt Lake City. It opened on September 1, 1953 with an original enrollment of 1028 students. In the Fall of 1960, the largest entering sophomore class (the graduating class of 1963) in Utah's history (an estimated 935) enrolled. Two years later the overcrowding was reduced when the new Skyline High was completed. In April 2013, the new Olympus High School building was opened for classes adjacent to the original school. The original building was torn down after 60 years of operation.() Throughout its history, Olympus has been one of the leading academic public high schools in the state.
