Students prepared and presented pieces ranging from instrumental solo concerto pieces and vocal arias to percussion ensembles in hopes that they might qualify for the Region Festival on February 17 at Salem Hills High School. Students are graded on a scale of I (superior) to V (poor) by professional adjudicators on their instruments.

Do all your clubs at school seem the same; a whole lot of work and nothing to show for it?  Well, if you have a skill or interest in engineering, programming, and drafting, then the robotics team is for you!  Maple Mountain High School is hosting the first ever district-wide robotics team, meaning all high school students (grades 9 – 12) in Nebo School district are invited to participate.

On January 21, 2010, Maple Mountain High School’s Internship Program sponsored “Window on the Workplace,” which invited local author J. Scott Savage as their guest speaker.  Savage was not always a writer, and writing had never been his dream. Before he started writing, Savage worked for a company that made little creatures that moved around the computer screen and talked to you. Because of the downturn in the economy, he found himself traveling a lot; this is where the idea for his first published book, Cutting Edge, came.
