If you see a new face in the math department, it may be Sarah Clements. She is a new teacher at Spanish Fork High School. Clement teaches Secondary Math 2. She graduated college from Utah Valley University where she played both basketball and volleyball. She has some awesome posters of her playing volleyball and basketball hanging on the walls in her classroom. We are glad Ms. Clement is here at Spanish Fork High School.
This year we have many new faces among our faculty and staff. One of them is our new campus police officer Trent Shepherd. Shepherd is an officer in the Spanish Fork Police Department, and because of the rotation of security officers, he is now part of the team at SFHS.
Spanish Fork High School welcomed Heather Stephens to the faculty for the 2013-2014 school year. When asked why she wanted to work at SFHS, Stephens said, "I student taught here last year and really like this school. I like the teachers here because they are really cooperative."
Mrs. Stephens attended Brigham Young University. She is a full-time member of the math department. About teaching math, she said, "It's harder than you think it would be, but it's fun."
Welcome Mrs. Stephens to Spanish Fork High School.
The Spanish Fork High School student body officers and class councils hosted a welcome back assembly on Friday, August 23, to greet new and returning students to SFHS.
At the assembly, student body president, Tate Paxton presented this year's school theme: "Have Fun." This theme was portrayed through a series of videos created by each individual council. Video highlights inlcuded trips to Taco Bell, smashing TVs, and an appearance by Nacho Libre.
Other assembly highlights included performances by the cheerleaders and drill team, and the classic school cheer, "We Feel Good."
Students at SFHS are rockin' their new rock solid shirts. For the fifth year in a row, every student at Spanish Fork High received a t-shirt with the words "rock solid" printed on the back. Giving these t-shirts to students has become a tradition that principal Dave McKee is very proud of. "The t-shirts unite the student body, and since everyone has one, no one can really feel left out," McKee said. Students love the shirts, too. Junior Payden Howard said, "I think it's cool that we're the only school that gives everyone a t-shirt." This year's shirts are black.
