PLEASANT GROVE — Wednesday was Jess Christen Day in Pleasant Grove by order of the mayor and City Council, which approved a proclamation to that effect at Tuesday night's council meeting.
Christen, the principal at Pleasant Grove High School, was recently named state Principal of the Year and will go on to be considered for the national Principal of the Year.
"I have worked with (Christen) personally for over four years, and he has worked very hard as an administrator to make the school a place where students want to be," said Pleasant Grove Mayor Mike Daniels.
