On Friday, October 14th, the MMHS Choirs combined with the choirs of Mapleton Junior High for their annual Fall Choral Showcase.  The auditorium at Maple Mountain was filled beyond capacity, and the choirs were excellent as they demonstrated mastery of vocal and choral technique, coupled with artistic, soulful energy.  The choirs were fortunate to perform two "choral union" numbers, where all singers joined together in singing.  Truly, the auditorium was filled with energy and fantastic music.  Conductors, Mrs. Thompson from MJHS and Mr.

The A. P. Studio Art class at MMHS recently created this collaborative project for the Halloween season. This project was entirely student-generated. Morgan Smith, Abbey Erickson, and Heather Richins worked together to design, organize and ultimately hung the 7' square artwork, which is made of 121 smaller squares. Each of the students in Mr. Gillespie's A. P. Studio Art class helped in the production of acrylic paintings of smaller monsters which culminated in this project, which can be seen in the C hall upstairs.

The Eagles had a great season and for the first time were able to advance through the first round of the state playoffs with an impressive 7-0 win over Woods Cross High School. The girls soccer team ended their season with a disappointing loss in the quarterfinal round of the state playoffs to Bonneville High School. The Eagles finished 2nd in Region 8 just behind the State Champion Timpanogos team. However, the Golden Eagles handed the Timpanogos soccer team its only loss of the season in an exciting win in double overtime during region play.
