Mr. Hill has been known to be very colorful in his language, but how does he teach? Is he really a good teacher? What the Hill really does happen in that classroom? Mr. Hill teaches, Health Science, Anatomy, Physiology, and Sports Medicine. Anybody who's had these classes will tell you that Mr. Hill yells a lot, however they also will tell you he is one of their favorite teachers. Why? Besides being an ex-green beret, Mr. Hill makes sure to keep his students happy by staying lively himself.
The 2015-2016 hashtag of the year is “#LionsOnFire”. This is a way for the people of Payson High to share our greatest achievements and moments. You asked, and we have answered your pleas. Once you have witnessed something amazing, or just feel like letting the people know how you feel, you can enter your message into any social media with the hashtag “#LionsOnFire” and have a chance for your voice to be heard. Let everyone know your stance on math being a form of torture or why lunch should count as an art credit, the possibilities are endless!
September 9, was a big day for the Payson Boy’s Golf Team. It was a decently weathered day, and these boys have trained hard. Although I know little about golf, I know that they played hard, and gave it their all. That Wednesday, they left for the Gladstan Golf Course in Payson at 11 a.m. Once they arrived, it was game on. “It’s great to see these young men competing against each other, but also show great sportsmanship.” -Anonymous Parent.
Payson Onion Days is one of my favorite events. There are always so many fun activities to enjoy. The best part for me is watching it all get put together. Many of these activities included: the carnival, the parade, the fireworks, family barbeques, etc.
On a very hot Wednesday afternoon, the Payson girl’s tennis team hosted Richfield High School. It was a very exciting match with lots of laughter and jokes between old friends. Before Payson got moved into the 4A region, they were 3A and Richfield was one of their region competitors. Staci Snow, Sydney Degraw, and some of the JV players won their matches. They didn’t capture the win, but they did get to have fun and practice some of the strategy taught to them by their coaches.
Homecoming is a time to celebrate the past and the future alumni of Payson High School. On September 17 at 8:30pm the festivities begin with the annual Homecoming Light Parade. We want all clubs, alumni, and the community to participate.
The parade will begin at the pool located at 600 South Main Street. Then the parade will head south on Main Street and end in the PHS parking lot. Be sure to stick around for the pep assembly in the gym.
August 19, 2015 marks the start of a brand new school year. The smell of books, cafeteria food, and crowded hallways fills the air. The feeling of anticipation, excitement, and nerviness fills each teacher and student's heart.
What will this year be like? What if I get lost? What if I don’t have any friends? Many questions cross your mind and instead of worrying about them find your answers using these great resources:
