quote = Biology teacher Steven Cox believes nature can be a great classroom. Thus, his students at St. George's Pine View High School are found studying hawks and raptors or sporting "Bat" T-shirts, touting the flying mammal rather than the comic-book hero. "He brings science to life and loves what he teaches", said Jim Johnson, assistant superintendent, Washington District. Cox is Utah's 1996 Outstanding Biology Teacher of the Year. ]

In 2007 controversy arose as a result of an "emergency" realignment of Utah Region 9 (Utah arranges schools for athletic competition into classifcations 1A-5A and into regions based primarily on geography). Three St. George high schools, Pine View, Dixie and Snow Canyon, were moved from division 3A to 4A, but kept in Region 9 with 3A schools, Hurricane, Cedar and Canyon View. Regional realignments are done by rule only once every four years, but the somewhat smaller 3A schools in Region 9 agitated for the so-called "emergency" realignment on the basis that their size was an impediment to competition and their ability to win a Region 9 championship and enter the state playoffs. The realignment took effect in 2007, two full years in advance of the regularly scheduled realignment, and guarantees that the smaller schools will be able to compete for a Region 9 3A championhave and two 3A playoff spots. The numbers of the St. George schools were substantially reduced by the addition of a fourth St. George high school, Desert Hills, in 2008. Nevertheless, in June of 2008, the Utah High School Activities Association voted to maintain the mixed 3A/4A Region 9 despite widespread criticism. The negatives for the 4A schools have been expressed as being limited to two spots in the state playoffs regardless of record, being forced to schedule 3A, rather than 4A, teams in the regular season, and having a region championship and playoff spots depend upon just two games.
