Students at Spanish Fork High School are working in the career of their choice already. They are training through Spanish Fork's internship program.

The students are placed in interships according to what career they want to go into. For example, students who want to go into education will work in elementary schools. A student who wants to do culinary arts will work at Kneaders or another restaurant. Those who want to enter the medical field will go to a doctor's office, hospital, or health care center.

SFHS students were challenged at an assembly on September 27, 2013 to reach out to others and be a genuine friend through a program known as RDI.

"I think the RDI can help a lot because there are a lot of lonely people, and if we get more people involved, they will all be friends," said SF student Mariah Cook. 

RDI is an accronym. R stands for reach across the divide. D reminds students to discover what is interesting about others, and I encourages students to invite others to be part of something.

The NHS is a national organization that does service projects around the community and around the school.

Spanish Fork High School advanced auto body classes toured UVU's automotive program. Students learned about the programs UVU offers and all of the things they could do with a degree in automotives.

One of the most popular classes in UVU's program is diesel mechanics. A representative of the diesel program told students that he has high expectations for his students as they go out into the world.

"I make my kids practice a lot so they can become good at it, so when I suggest them to work for someone, they don't ruin my reputation," he joked.

"This was our cleanest show that we have done all season," said Sarah Nasson, color guard coach. "We will not always get a trophy, but as long as we had fun and did our best, there is nothing to worry about."

The class of 1994 returned to Spanish Fork High School on Friday, September 13, 2013 to celebrate Homecoming with SFHS students, faculty, and staff.

The class of 1994 was very proud, and the students were very impressed with how well the alumni class knew current day music during the "Name that Tune" game. The class of 1994 also hosted a fashion show which included all of the drill outfits, cheer outfits, and girls' homecoming dresses. The alumni shared many memories from high school that seemed to connect with the memories of current students.

Students at Spanish Fork High School gathered during Homecoming week for a night of fun, friends, and a great movie. 

Groups camped in the cafeteria to watch Remember the Titans. Those not watching the movie simply took the opportunity to chat with friends. Overall it was a fun way to spend some time.
