Welcome Back!

Submitted by kate.searle on

August 21 marks the first day of the 2018-2019 school year.  One new change this year is a new bell schedule.  Here is the link to the student menu: http://phs.nebo.edu/content/students

The new schedule is very similar to last year's change, but this year, Intervention will begin with fourth period on Tuesdays instead of first period.  This should allow students to receive more help throughout the week, and especially on Fridays.

Good luck to all students as you begin a new year.

Submitted by clint.peery on

It is that time of year again. The time that every student both dreads and loves. It's the time of end of the year testing and finals but it's also the final month before summer vacation. It's the time that we say good-bye to our seniors and watch as they go off to start their lives. It's also the time for the very last edition of the Mane Street Journal for the 2017-2018 school year. Thank you so much for all the support that you have given us this year. So without further ado please enjoy this months edition of The Mane Street Journal.

Carpentry projects set to wow audiences again

Submitted by kate.searle on

Mrs. Carlson and her team of wood shop students have filled the Payson High main gym with wood wonders once again this year.  Pieces range from bed stands, dressers and drawers, to nightstands, pool tables, and hope chests.  

Many of these projects have been in the works since the beginning of the year and highlight the different skills available within the woodworking trade.  Many pieces this year have logos or images etched, burned, or laser printed into the wood.

Come stop by the gym tonight until 8:00 pm to see this amazing showcase.

Submitted by kate.searle on

On May 1, baseball lovers and community members came together at the “Strike Out Cancer” Payson vs. Lehi baseball game to support Dena Hiatt and her fight against cancer.  Hiatt, whose son is on the Payson Baseball team, expressed in an email to Payson High, “It is things like the coming together of a small little baseball community on our behalf that reminds me how much love and support we have.  No matter what happens we will be alright!”

Our High School Years

Submitted by kate.searle on

 Graduation, whether you are excited for it or dreading it, it’s been on our minds since kindergarten. We have worked for thirteen years to get to this point. Everyone has gone through life experiences as small as making the first boxed mac and cheese dinners of many, all the way up to learning how to do complex trigonometry and how to make a somewhat correct works cited page. If you think about it, we’ve come so far. Who would have thought that one sheet of paper would affect our lives so much.

  Utah’s KTS is an incentive program that gives out “Key Cards” to students during the school year which they can later cash into prizes from free food like Costa Vida to visits to the Natural History Museum of Utah and The Loveland Living Planet Aquarium. At the end of every school year, there’s an assembly where finalists that meet certain criteria are required to attend.  This assembly happened on Friday, April 10th.
