Four Payson High School students are experiencing what it feels like to have their opinions heard. As an assignment for David Rockwood’s philosophy class, each student wrote and submitted an editorial letter to a Utah newspaper. Ann Marie Marck, Corbin Coombs, Emily Walker and Tanner Newbold each had their editorial published. The students were both surprised and excited to see their opinion in print.

On Wednesday, September 28, Payson High’s National Honor Society held their annual induction banquet to kick off the year. With 100 members, Payson’s NHS membership is the largest in school history. The Honor Society is made up of juniors and seniors that have at least a 3.75 GPA, so this is an exciting thing to have happening at PHS.
The Payson High School Social Studies Department, to highlight the accomplishments of our students, will publish monthly updates about their outstanding successes.

Ultra-Marathon runner and Payson High graduate, Jarom Thurston, spoke to the students of PHS September 27 as part of the Windows on the Workplace program.
Thurston, a 1994 graduate of Payson, didn’t run while in high school. In fact he didn’t like to run at all and could barely even run a mile he said. It wasn’t until his brother started to train that he found his motivation.
“I thought if my younger brother can do it, I better see if I can do it too!” said Thurston.
