A New Language Lab for West Lake STEM

Twenty-five different languages are spoken among the Multi-Language Learner students at West Lake STEM. To meet that need, both organizations purchased the Renaissance 2.0 Language Lab System for the school computer language lab. The new lab includes 36 stations for students.

Unveiling Day

The lab was unveiled on November 11 at 10:45 a.m., following a school assembly, according to a release from the Jazz.

Why This Partnership Matters

"Mark Miller Subaru is proud of our long-time partnership with the Utah Jazz and are truly honored to be standing alongside them in making this meaningful financial contribution to West Lake Jr. High School." Jeff Miller, owner of Mark Miller Subaru

"It is our hope that this investment for advanced classroom technology will help English Language Learners at West Lake Junior High while simultaneously connecting students from various backgrounds and cultures to one another in both a powerful and life-changing manner." Jeff Miller

More Projects Ahead

In addition to the language lab, three more projects were scheduled at the school during the 2022-23 Jazz season.
