Welcome to Spanish Fork High School

Senior English classes are taking up service projects.  One group with Sarah Nulty, McKenzie Johnson, and Hayley Chandler is doing a project  called “Clothes for Kids.” The seniors had to come up with a service project, which needed to include a timeline, permission slips, talking to the administrators, and having everything planned out. They had to write an essay and be persuasive, give it to the principal and get permission to conduct their project.  The “Clothes for Kids” drive is being conducted with Mrs. Hillier’s English classes.

Thursday night, the entire officer team and the three advisors awarded 98 Green Hand awards and 37 Chapter Degrees to members at Spanish Fork FFA. Many state degrees will be given out in April at State Convention also.

The Lady Dons have had a perfect volleyball season. They went undefeated in region making the region record 10-0 and an over all record 12-2.. Now that region is over, all they need to do is win first in state. The spectacular aspect of the season is that no one thought SFHS would go very far at all. Some were sure that since they lost two big hitters from last year, Spanish Fork would not do well in region. The Lady Dons proved them wrong.
