Dixie State College

Dixie State College Information

Dixie State College of Utah emerged from the desire for learning of the Mormon pioneers who lived in the remote isolation of Utah's Dixie, a plain on the Virgin River in the heat of the Mohave Desert. The people supported modest schools early, but permanent roots for secondary and post secondary education were planted only after the colony had survived 50 years. The early LDS ward schools gave way to a public school in 1901 when the handsome Woodward School was constructed on the town square. It included two years of high school.

Dixie State is home to a number of successful sports program that have been strong competitors around the country for years. They also have a richly academic campus, built for the success of the students, which can be seen throughout the leadership of St. George's community. The student body is made up of many students from the area's local high schools and from all around the country and the world.
