Bingham High School is a public high school located in South Jordan, Utah, United States, and one of eight high schools in the Jordan School District. It was established in 1908 and is one of the oldest schools in the state. Teacher/pupil ratios are budgeted at 1 to 27.3 with actual class sizes varying. The school name and mascot are derived from its proximity to the Bingham Copper Mine.

Student government

The Bingham High student government began in the 1910s. The first student body president on record was Dewey Miller, who led the miner student body during the 1917-1918 school year. In the 1920s student government at Bingham consisted of three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial. The student body officers formed the executive branch with a president, vice president, secretary-treasurer, yell master, yearbook editor and business manager. The principal, representatives from all the classes, and two faculty members made up the legislative branch. The student body court, with a prosecuting attorney, judge, chief of police and a clerk, handled the judicial duties of interpreting the school constitution and maintaining discipline.[3]
