Paris Hilton Celebrates Provo Canyon School Shutdown
7 Jul
Summary
- Provo Canyon School's Springville Campus license was revoked.
- Paris Hilton attended the center and criticized its practices.
- The school closed due to neglect and misconduct allegations.

Paris Hilton has expressed her joy over the closure of Provo Canyon School's Springville Campus. The facility, which Hilton attended as a teenager, had its operating license revoked by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services. This action came following allegations of neglect and misconduct, leading to the center's permanent closure.
Hilton shared her long-held desire for this outcome, emphasizing her goal to shield other children from the abuse she experienced. The school faced multiple noncompliant incidents, including failing to protect clients from staff mistreatment. Previously placed on conditional status in February 2025, the center's license was officially revoked, requiring termination of services within one month.
The closure marks a significant moment for Hilton, who has been an advocate against the alleged misconduct at such facilities. She detailed her experiences in documentaries and spoke before Congress about the issues faced by former attendees of the center.
