Students of the Maple Mountain Theatre Department are putting the finishing touches on the MMHS Winter Play, Twelve Angry Jurors.  This play is the stage version of the classic film 12 Angry Men.  The story focuses on a jury room as the 12 individuals debate the guilt of a young man on trial for the murder of his father.  The deliberations reveal the biases and prejudices of the jury members who start out wanting a quick guilty verdict.  A lone juror suggests that the responsibility of those in the room is to look beyond their first impression

Yesterday 9 of our TV Broadcasting students competed in same-day news story, radio, and anchoring competitions at the Broadcast Awards held at BYU. They also entered several pre-recorded videos 2 weeks prior. We had an exciting day, learned A LOT, and even brought home a big award! Cat Keliiliki was awarded best news story in the state! This was huge for her and our program. If you have her in your classes, please congratulate her!

Yesterday at the state capitol Sarah Larsen was recognized for her Juror's Choice Award from her entry in the All-State High School Visual Art show at the Springville Museum of Art. There were almost 1,000 entries submitted, and 328 accepted into the show. Of those 328, only 5 received Juror's Choice Awards.
