October 2019

The Nebo High School Youth Board, a group of students made up of high school students from each school within the district, met with the Nebo School Board of Education and Superintendent Rick Nielsen this past month. Each Youth Board representative is selected by his/her principal to be a spokesperson for their school each quarter.

Students were given time to introduce themselves and ask any questions they desired to the School Board of Education as well as Superintendent Nielsen. 

This week, students are competing in the Mr. Payson Pageant, hosted by the Drama department. The week started with many little competitions with the contestants remaining anonymous. These were held during lunch and judged by the student body via a link in their email. Friday night will be the final competition that will have judges watching. 

Congratulations to our students of the month!
