Window in the Workplace

Recently, Spanish Fork High School was lucky enough to have psychologist Dr. Liebing present at Window in the Workplace.  A room packed with students listened as she told them about her experiences going through school and working as a psychologist.  Dr. Liebing compared being a psychologist to reading a mystery novel, “you are trying to figure out this person,” she said.  Many students found that intriguing.  Though it takes many years of schooling to become a psychologist, the rewards can be awesome.

On Thursday December 2, 2010, the Spanish Fork High School Cross Country team left for California, where they ran the All-West Region Footlocker Race at Mt. San Antonio College. The SFHS Cross Country team shared a charter bus with two other high schools, Salem Hills and Springville. The bus ride was long and arduous; however, it was merely an obstacle in the way of the ultimate goal of racing in the All-West Region Footlocker race. It is a privilege and an honor to compete in the race. Runners from across the country come to participate.

SFHS Musical Was a Giant Success

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Spanish Fork High School's Production of the Phantom of the Opera was a giant success. The hours spent in labor over this grand project paid off in the end. With a sold out audience on closing night, this play was a smashing hit. Out of four performances three were full houses and the fourth nearly so. The play was presented by only thirteen high-schools in the nation; and even with their work cut out for them, the Spanish Fork Drama Department came through with a standing ovation and a wondrous performance.
