This month, a delightful surprise unfolded in the counselor's office. Imagine sitting down to plan your schedule, only to see your own face smiling back at you from a poster of classes offered! That's exactly what happened to one of our students, Izek Andersen.
While setting up his schedule, Izek noticed he was featured on a promotional poster for our UVU concurrent enrollment program. It's not every day you find yourself on a poster, and it makes for a great story! Congratulations to Izek Andersen, our very own UVU concurrent enrollment celebrity in the making!
We are so proud of Izek and thrilled to celebrate this fun moment with our community. It's these little surprises that make our school such a special place. We encourage all students to keep exploring, learning, and achieving—who knows, maybe you'll be the next face on a poster!

Educators Rising students returned from their trip to Orlando, Florida for the Educators Rising National Competition with over 3,000 students from across the country. Nebo School District represented so well. Allianna Walters, Jastynnie (Arrow) Miner, Lucelia Green, and Autumn Partridge all competed and were very successful! A few of the highlights from the competition were:
Allianna Walters was announced as the 2025-2026 National Educators Rising President! She ran against thousands of students across the country and we are beyond excited for her! She also received a white ribbon for her competitive event, Project Visualize, where she facilitated a week full of activities for students at SFHS with special needs.
Jastynnie (Arrow) Miner received the Educators Rising Leadership Award and received a $1,000 scholarship. For this award, she spent 100’s of hours in special education classrooms helping non-verbal students learn to communicate, fundraised to put an AAC (Alternative and Augmentative Communication) Device in the All Abilities park in Spanish Fork, and even assisted a child in telling his parents he loved them for the very first time. When she was the one student in the nation to receive this award during the awards ceremony, the students from Nebo were ecstatic!
Congratulations to these students for a job well done!

We're in the home stretch, and although the semester is winding down, our activities are still in full swing. Our students continue to engage in dynamic and educational experiences, showcasing their hard work and dedication.
One of the standout events this week has been the final practicum for our Criminal Investigations classes. Students have been busy processing an extensive two-acre crime scene as part of their final assessment. This scene included a variety of complex elements such as a body, weapon, shell casings, drugs, a vehicle, and plenty of simulated blood evidence.


Kids Cause is excited to invite you to our Charity Golf Tournament on Monday, June 2! This event will support students in Nebo School District by helping provide glasses, dental work, clothing, and other essentials. Kids Cause works closely with school social workers and administrators to identify students who need extra help, making a real difference in our community.
The tournament promises a fun day for a great cause — just $60 per person! Bring your own foursome if possible! Lunch will be provided, and there will be lots of prizes to win throughout the day. Come enjoy a round of golf and help us continue supporting kids in need! We hope to see you there!
