"G" Its Meaning
Pleasant Grove, Utah County · Utah
Erected 1991
The letter on Little Mountain answers to the school's old name. In 1920, Pleasant Grove High's students — then the Grovarians — set their emblem on the mountainside instead of the schoolhouse, hauling rock off the Battle Creek and Grove Creek slopes to lay out a G. The town kept an annual G Day to whitewash it, and a 2023 rebuild fixed the letter in place for its second century. The Grovarians Club plaque stands at the police station, too small in any photograph yet found to read.
