UCET

This year, we are proud to introduce the UCET Hall of Fame Award.

We created this award to honor those rare individuals whose impact isn't measured in years, but in generations. Our ideal candidates are the visionaries who didn't just use technology; they championed it when it was difficult, built communities when we were isolated, and paved the road that the rest of us are driving on today.

Our last Class of 2026 Hall of Fame inductee is Terry Shoemaker. In 2001, Terry served as the Superintendent of Wasatch County School District, a role he held for approximately 15 years. And as superintendent, he led significant modernization efforts, including pioneering districtwide digital learning initiatives that placed laptops directly into students’ hands—positioning Wasatch as a leader in educational technology and innovation.

During his tenure, he was appointed by Governor Huntsman to Utah Valley University: Board of Trustees for 8 years. Terry was named Utah School Superintendent of the Year in 2014 in recognition of his impact.

At the conference when we handed the award to Terry's widow, Emma Moss shared a personal story of how Terry impacted her life when he was her elementary principal and brought computers and possibilities into her life. We are grateful for the lasting impact that Terry has had on every level of the Utah educational landscape.
