Renting PHS Facilities

Renting our PHS Facilities

The Payson High School facilities and campus are not only a public institute of learning, they are also a community resource. Many groups, both school sponsored groups and outside groups, utilize our first-class facilities for various activities. Priority for reserving/renting school venues is as follows:

  1. PHS school sponsored events

  2. Other Nebo School District events

  3. City and Community Rec events

  4. All other outside groups

In order to facilitate the orderly prioritization of reserving and/or renting an area of our school, we have created several reservation windows for various kinds of groups. 

  • Up to Sept 1 → Scheduling open for School and District events only

  • Sept 1 → Scheduling opens for City and Community Rec events 

  • Sept 15 → Scheduling opens for all other outside groups events 

*Note: Sometimes Payson High events need to be re-scheduled. In these cases PHS events always take precedence over others. This means that other pre-scheduled events by outside groups may need to be bumped or moved. We do our very best to accommodate all, but some flexibility may be required on the renter’s part if this happens. Remember, PHS events take priority.

The rental fee varies depending on two factors: 1) which facility you rent, and 2) what category of group you are. For example, the same venue will cost a different amount if you are a governmental organization, a patriotic society (like the Boy Scouts), a charitable or religious organization, or a for-profit business. The Nebo School District policy divides the different kinds of groups into what we call “Classes,” from a Class I to a Class VIII. For a full description of these various categories as well as the rental fee schedule (amount to be charged) for each venue and for each category, see the following link:

If you are renting the Cafeteria AND you plan to cook food in the Kitchen area (using the stoves, ovens, warmers, etc.), then you must have a Nebo Food Services employee (i.e. “lunch lady”) present and pay their hourly rate. You need to arrange this with our food services department head (contact info below) at least one week prior to your event. If you will not be using the kitchen to cook, then you do not need this step.
