Congratulations to our three students who have advanced as Sterling Scholar Finalists!

This is an incredible achievement, and we look forward to cheering them on as they continue in the process!
Congratulations to our Debate team on a strong 2nd place finish at Region! Their dedication and preparation have earned them a spot at State. We are proud of their hard work and wish them the best of luck in the next round of competition!
Deon Youd has been selected by the Utah Council of Teachers of English as the High School English Language Arts Expert Teacher of the year!
A colleague said, "There are not adequate ways to express what Deon has done and continues to do for her students, colleagues, our school community, and
those who are fortunate enough to know her. She is an inspiration inside and outside of the classroom as to how to treat people and how to be a lifelong learner. Deon is the teacher every student wants to have and the teacher every teacher aspires to be like. She is constantly trying to be better and learn more about how to be a more effective teacher and how to better prepare students to think deeply for themselves. Deon is encouraging, positive, caring, and always supportive. She truly loves what she does and it is apparent in her classroom and her relationships with others. Deon is the best example to others of what it means to truly love others and help them reach their full potential."
Thank you, Deon, for all you do! Go Dons!
