This year, Payson High School students can learn about Healthcare careers from professionals in that field.
Students can go on a field trip from PHS to MTECH in Lehi where over 20 professionals from Doctors, Nurses & Paramedics will be sharing their expertise and how they entered the career.
This is free and a bus will take the students from PHS to MTECH. Afterwards, lunch will be provided to the students.
Don't miss it on February 2nd, 2024. The sessions are open until they are full.
On Monday, January 15, we'll commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day with the day off school.
This federal holiday is observed on the third Monday every January, and this year, it "falls on the actual birthday of the celebrated civil rights leader who was assassinated more than a half a century ago (NPR).
Since 1994, Americans have been "encouraged to observe the day "with acts of civic work and community service" in honor of King's legacy."
This upcoming Monday, consider what you can do to make a difference in our community. Go Lions!
Payson Wrestling vs. Millard @ 7 pm

Cross Country took 15 runners to California for the Footlocker West Regional races in December this year. Each race had hundreds of runners from all over the Western USA.
All of the runners ran well, representing Payson High with pride!
Congrats team!
Congrats to our cheer team! On Saturday, December 2, they took FIRST PLACE at the USA Regionals.
Coach Marilyn Morgan said, "We are so excited because I took a risk and entered us in the most advanced division, so winning first feels really good going into our UHSAA Region and State and then USA nationals!"
We're proud of you, Lions!
The new Payson Page Turners Bookstagram account is live!
On this account, there is a Google Forms link for students to submit reviews on the books they are reading for the opportunity to be featured on the account. The purpose of this is to have the Reading Challenge featured more consistently and effectively throughout the school community and to also have our school's readers join the community of book reviewers and bloggers on social media. (Teachers can submit as well.)
Congrats to Kyle Adams, the recipient of the Heart of the Lion award for 2nd term.
