Welcome to Spanish Fork High School

Elmo Keck, a former SFHS choir teacher, will be a guest conductor at the SFHS Fall Choir Concert on Oct. 12 at 7:00 p.m. in the Spanish Fork High School auditorium. Students have been preparing for this concert that will highlight some of the songs they will be singing on tour this year. This is the first time that Mr. Keck has been back to Spanish Fork High School to be a part of the award-winning excellence of SFHS choirs. The choirs will be performing an entertaining array of folksongs from around the world.

On Monday, September 27th, Matt Schron, an FBI agent, visited Spanish Fork High School. He came during lunch hour and spoke a little bit about his job and the essence of it. Gustavo Rocha, a student at SFHS, attended the presentation. He says, “I was interested in the FBI, because of my interest in law enforcement. Plus, I got detention credit, so why not?” According to Gustavo, there was a lot that was talked about in the presentation. Matt Schron showed many videos showing a variety of jobs that an FBI agent does.

Today the Spanish Fork High School Shakespeare Team left for Cedar City to compete at the Utah Shakespearean Festival. The team of actors and singers will be competing against several other schools in surrounding states. Lillian Gill, Marty Sperry, and Nicole Olsen will be competing in a scene from Richard III; Jared Tuckett and Hannah Carson will also be taking a scene from Richard III. Bonnie Miller, Raquel Adams, and Jen Grzybowski will all be competing with monologues, and all the actors will compete in an ensemble scene from Measure for Measure.

After Spanish Fork High School’s victory against Salem Hills, students and families were treated with an after party on wheels. A nationally recognized band called “This Is Your Band” came in on a semi truck with their lead guitarist Guy Golightly. Guy Golightly is recognized for his talent with the guitar, rated as one of the top ten players in the nation. Local members sang and danced along with their neighbor rocking his guitar.“This Is Your Band” has been playing all over the United States. Spanish Fork was lucky to have such a great band play on their field.

Last week, students from Spanish Fork High gathered in the commons area during lunch to sign up for the new clubs. Many clubs from past years returned, while others were making their big entrance. Students excitedly went around looking at what each club had to offer. Some of the returning clubs included Masque Club, Key Club, Hope Squad, Red Revival, and the Ping Pong Club. Masque Club is a club for anyone interested in acting and having fun. It is a way to get students out of their bubble and to become more comfortable in the world of acting. Key Club is a club based on service.
