On November 3, a group of 38 students (who were mostly excited, but a little bit nervous) and ten adults  made the journey from Payson, UT to our nation’s capital, Washington D.C.

On Tuesday, November 2nd, about 20 students from our school's DECA club were able to attend the Utah Jazz game! Students watched the players warm-up before the game started and even got their photos featured on the big screens in the center of the court. It was an intense game, but the Jazz ended up beating the Sacramento Kings 119-113.

DECA is a great club for any students interested in business or marketing. It encourages the development of business and leadership skills. It's not too late to join. If you are interested, contact Mrs. Kelly.

At today's Veteran's Day assembly, Payson High School inducted Major General Chesley Peterson into the PHS Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame.

Payson High School is deeply grateful to those in our community who selflessly serve our country and community in the armed services.  And we recognize the sacrifice that this service also requires of their families and loved ones. On our school website, we maintain a list of all of the PHS graduates or faculty members who have served in the military. To date, this list has over 1,400 names, reaching back over one hundred years to World War 1.

The show runs November 18-22 at 7:00 PM. There will also be a 2:00 PM matinee on Nov 20. Tickets are $10 each or $40 for a family (up to 6).  Tickets can be purchased online or in person at the door.

Congratulations to our October Students of the Month!  Caden Rowley, Naomi Rawlinson, Aaron Neal, Cydnee Burke, Gracie Taylor, Logan Oyler, Beau Stienfeldt, and Jordan Ricks were all nominated by one of their teachers. 

The Payson Lions will play the Olympus High School Titans on Friday (10/22) in the first round of the state playoffs. These two teams are very close in the state rankings and it should be a great game. If you can attend in person, the game will be played at Olympus High School at 6:00 PM. Tickets must be purchased online:
