Classroom Spotlight: What the "Hill" are you doing?
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.

Unplugging without FOMO
Cell phones are a necessary part of a teenager's life. However, some teens have a hard time putting down the cell phone and enjoying time without it. Read for tips on how to do this.
Boys Golf @ Gladstan
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
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.
Payson High Girl's Tennis VS Richfield
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.
Lighting The Way Home
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.
5 Reasons Why You Should Pay $5
On Sept 16th all juniors and seniors are invited to tour college campuses while the sophomores take the PLAN test. Would you rather sleep or spend the $5 at Wendy’s? Here are five reasons why going on the campus tour is better than sleeping or eating:
1) Fun. It’s going to be awesome to jump on a bus with a bunch of college-bound peers. So take a risk and you’ll probably make some new friends or at least find out who might be going to the same college as you.
2) Leave Utah County. Get out of the house! Get out of the school! Get out of the county!
3) Get informed.
