Uintah Stake Academy

Mormon academy, in operation from 1888 to 1923, located in Vernal, Utah. This and other academies were founded under the 19th century policy of the Mormon Church Board of Education to establish schools in the various stakes of the Mormon Church.

The Uintah Stake Academy was founded September 15, 1888, pursuant to a letter of instruction from Wilford Woodruff, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was the policy of the Church Board of Education under the direction of Karl G. Maeser to establish schools in the stakes of the Church or in enough of the stakes so that all Church members could receive the benefit of these institutions.
