Welcome to Spanish Fork High School

Tracy Poulsen, a teacher from Spanish Fork High School, broke some new ground and published a chemistry book specific for her class. The book is titled "Introductory Chemistry". She used the organization CK-12 which produces textbooks that are more adaptable, usable and cost effective. In writing her new book, she used "creative commons" as a resource along with what she wrote. There are a lot of advantages with this book, such as: students receive their own book that they can write in, take notes in, and also keep when the course is over.

On Friday September 10th, Senior Council hosted their Senior Sunrise on their home football field. Seniors gathered around and ate muffins, and sipped hot chocolate while socializing and waiting for the sunrise. Students were arriving at 6:30 a.m. sharp. The sun came up at about 7:30, and seniors squeezed together for a group picture. It was fun and filled with smiles, showing off our Don Pride and continuing our Spanish Fork tradition. It was an awesome and amazing experience.

The SFHS Hope Squad is a group of students that were selected by their peers as students that were good listeners and trustworthy. They are organized to help and listen to other students who need someone to lean on. On September 7 and 10, Hope Squad members went to the Spanish Fork and Diamond Fork Junior Highs and taught the 8th grade health students important life lessons on self-esteem issues. The students participated in activities and games that helped them elarn how to build their own self-esteem as well as their peers.

Spanish Fork had the re-opening of North Park on August 28th. The new park has been completely re-modeled, and has much more to offer! There is less grass space than before, and more play ground area and water activities. The park is a great place for families to come for picnics, or to walk on the trail, or even to play on the playground. The water area is complete with shooting fountains that little children love to play in! The actual playground itself is much more modern, with a rock wall to climb, teeter-totters, a spider-web jungle gym, and much, much more!
