Last month our Maple Mountain High Lady Golden Eagles, Ellevés, competed at the Murray Classic drill team competition.  Maple Mountain placed first overall in the 4A division which had 15 schools from around the state competing.  The Lady Golden Eagles placed first in military, dance, and kick. They also placed second in hip hop.  Along with the overall 4A trophy, the Ellevés won the exceptional technique award from the judges.

This week’s Maple Mountain High Prep of the Week is Makinsie Davis.  Davis is a senior at MMHS and is a captain on the swim team.   Davis competed in the 100 meter breaststroke (in which she holds the school record) 200 meter freestyle, and 200 meter relay and 400 relay which is Davis’ favorite event.

Students belong to many different types of clubs here at Maple Mountain High, including football, MMHS dance crew, robotics, soccer, Jedi council, constitution, photography, and the architecture club. We talked to a few of the advisers of these clubs and found out a little bit about what their club does. 

Gary Miner, constitution club advisor, is a club that gets together to appreciate the constitution and what it stands for. Students can go to this club to ask questions about the constitution and figure out what it means to them.

The Maple Mountain High School Ellevés competed at the Region VIII Drill Team Competition held at Spanish Fork High School on Thursday, January 27, 2011.  The Ellevés placed 1st in the Military category; 1st in the Dance category, and 2nd in the Kick category.  Overall the Ellevés placed 1st and were awarded the Region VIII trophy for the second year in a row.  Alexus Poulsen, daughter of Mandy Seow and Neil Poulsen, won 2nd place in the drill down competition.
