Venture Academy is a charter school in Marriott-Slaterville for grades kindergarten through eighth.  It is a fairly new school in the area, but it has been growing by leaps and bounds and has recently started construction on a new High School. Venture High is set to open in the fall of 2013, but has already started accepting students through its lottery program – which means students will enroll, and if their name is drawn, they will be accepted.

Countless numbers of people will greatly miss this remarkable gentleman, the late Farr West Mayor, Jimmie Papageorge.  His service and influence affected so many, especially members of the Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church, his loving family, the Citizens of Farr West, and surrounding communities. 

Jimmie was born November 15, 1928 and spent his whole life in Farr West on the family dairy.  Several years after graduating from Weber High School, he married Kay Thomas.  Together they had two children, Alex  and Christina.

This story begins in 1865 when Leonidas Alfred Pritchett and his wife Elizabeth Ann Heninger left their comfortable home in Virginia to come to Zion.  Along the way, they stopped in Ohio just long enough to welcome their first baby, Catherine Leticia Pritchett, into the world.  In the fall of 1865, the Pritchett family reached Salt Lake City.  In the spring of 1866, the little family obtained 160 acres of land, built a log home, and settled down in what is now known as Farr West City.

At the Farr West City Council Meeting held on the 15th of November 2012, a new mayor was appointed.  Mayor Jimmie Papegeorge was serving his 19th year as Mayor of Farr West when he passed away in his home, Sunday, October 21, 2012 at the age of 83.  A public notice was posted October 30th seeking applicants to fill the position of Mayor till the end of Papgeorge’s term, January 2014.  The Council members voted 3 to 2 and Lee Dickemore was appointed to fill the position.
