The following students from Maple Mountain High placed in their respective events:
On Wednesday, February 2, Tyson Jex, Golden Eagles quarterback signed a letter of intent to play football at Dixie State College next fall. He is the first football player to sign with a college in the brief history of Maple Mountain football. Tyson led the Golden Eagles to their first ever victory and playoff birth last season. Congratulations to Tyson for this accomplishment.

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.
