This article describes the educational history of the area around Utah Lake, which today contains Provo. Education began at the elementary level with the establishment of Fort Utah. This grew to include secondary education. The author notes that it was common for schools to meet inside church meetinghouses, although the Provo School district eventually levied taxes on settlers to provide funding for education.
