History

Jill Gildea became the superintendent in 2018.
In 2018 the school district bought a house that would be used as the residence of its superintendent.
In 2022 the board of trustees set 2024 as the new expiration date for the contract of Gildea.
In late 2022, Park City School District committed to plans that would demolish Treasure Mountain Junior High School, moving Eighth graders to Ecker Hill Middle and Ninth graders to Park City High. Park City School District has broken ground on such projects.
In 2023, Treasure Mountain Junior High School's campus had toxic soil piles as a result of the Park City School District using such dirt piles as a dumping ground for construction projects. The soil piles have since been removed.

Controversies
Soil Piles
In 2023, the PCSD was found to have broken an agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency where the school district moved soil laced with lead and arsenic behind Treasure Mountain.. The school district then removed the dust under governmental regulation during the following 2023-2024 school year.
Demolition
In November 2025, an anonymous tip led to Utah Water Regulators to investigate the PCSD for improperly dumping contaminated water into a nearby creek during the demolition of Treasure Mountain Junior High.. The district also received a compliance notice from the Utah Department of Environmental Quality related to their handing of asbestos near the demolition site.
