Students at Spanish Fork High School have more opportunities to use technology than ever before. In fact, many students are checking out portable Chromebook computers to take home with them on a permanent basis. Around 450 students are assigned permanent computers.

"Our goal is to have a 1-to-1 student to portable device ratio by next year," says Principal Dave McKee. "Right now, we have about 1200 portable devices including the ones checked out to students and the ones stationed in portable labs around the school. We're almost at our goal," McKee added.

The class of 2016 awoke dark and early on Friday, August 28 for the annual "Senior Sunrise." The senior class gathered on the football field before sun up to hang out with friends, eat yummy muffins, and watch the sun dawn on their final year as a Don.

"Senior sunrise is important because it resembles the beginning to our end here at SFHS," says Trevor Ludlow, senior class council member. "It brings the seniors together," Ludlow added.

Senior sunrise has become a time-honored tradition that students look forward to from their sophomore year on.

Bell Photography will be at our school on Thursday and Friday (Aug 27, 28) to take student pictures. The students will be called out during their English classes. Picture make-up day will be Sept. 30.
