KJZZ visited Spanish Fork High School on Thursday, October 3, 2013 for the high school football "Game of the Week." The Dons were defeated by the Timpview T-birds 56-7, but despite the score, the crowd's spirit was high.

"We had a strong fan base even though we lost," said Caiden Certonio, junior at SFHS.

The highly favored Timpview dominated the Dons from the very beginning. The T-birds scored two touchdowns in the first quarter to leave the score 14-0.

Timpview scored another four times in the second quarter to leave Spanish Fork down 42-0 at the half.

The class of 1994 returned to Spanish Fork High School on Friday, September 13, 2013 to celebrate Homecoming with SFHS students, faculty, and staff.

The class of 1994 was very proud, and the students were very impressed with how well the alumni class knew current day music during the "Name that Tune" game. The class of 1994 also hosted a fashion show which included all of the drill outfits, cheer outfits, and girls' homecoming dresses. The alumni shared many memories from high school that seemed to connect with the memories of current students.

Students at Spanish Fork High School gathered during Homecoming week for a night of fun, friends, and a great movie. 

Groups camped in the cafeteria to watch Remember the Titans. Those not watching the movie simply took the opportunity to chat with friends. Overall it was a fun way to spend some time.

Girls took to the football field during SFHS Homecoming week to prove who's best in Powder Puff football.  On Monday, September 9, 2013, seven teams of girls went ot to either defeat or be defeated. Teams included those made up by cheerleaders, drill team members, student athletes, and more.

The bleachers piled up with students and parents out to watch the games. Once again, the team that calls itself the Best of the Best went undefeated through the tournament and was crowned Powder Puff champs for the third year in a row.

Dear Parents,

A student at SFHS has recently been diagnosed with Pertussis (whooping cough).  The student is being kept at home, on antibiotics and will not return to school until cleared by a doctor.

Please read the attached letter from the Utah County Health Department.  The letter will give you more information about Pertussis signs and symptoms and how to protect your child.

Sincerely,

SFHS Administration

Spanish Fork High School principal Dave McKee returned to SFHS Monday, September 23, 2013, after spending nearly a week in our nation's capitol. McKee traveled to Washington D.C. to represent Utah as the Utah High School Principal of the Year.

"It was an awesome trip," said McKee.

While in Washington, McKee toured the Capitol Building and met with Utah congressment and senators. He met with each representative individually to talk about education.

The seminary staff at Spanish Fork High School hosted a big barbeque during lunch on Tuesday, September 17, 2013. They served hot dogs, chips, cookies, and water outside the seminary building.

The line to get food was crazy long; it took about 5-10 minutes beginning to end. In fact, the attendance was so great that the staff had to cook additional hot dogs.

The food was offered to all students free of charge. 

We have all heard of the happenings in Syria, Egypt, Libya, and Afghanistan where the people are fighting for their freedom. We have heard throughout our lives the stories of how dictators, monarchs, and various tyrants have fallen in civil wars and revolutions. In these overthrows, hundreds of thousands, sometimes even millions, have been killed, just so the people can be free. This raises a question. Is freedom worth fighting for?

When attending Spanish Fork High School, there is nothing better than being part of Homecoming week, a week full of partying, dancing, action, and best of all, being around the people you love and having an outright blast.

Homecoming is very important to the students and staff of SFHS. The assembly especially stands out because as many students said, being able to hear about old memories from past students leaves everyone excited, knowing that our homecoming assembly is bigger and better.

Seniors at Spanish Fork High School woke up before the sun on Tuesday, September 10, 2013 to watch the sun rise with their classmates at the annual Senior Sunrise event.

Nibbling on muffins, fruit, and cereal, seniors waited for the sun to come up. Around 7:00 a.m. seniors began feeling disappointed; the clouds blocked the sunrise.

"I was kind of disappointed," said Anna Mathison. "It was fun to sit with my classmates and friends, but it was sad that the clouds were in the way."
