Submitted by carey.white on Wed, 11/18/2015 - 13:22

This week we received the opportunity to interview and get to know our new U.S. Studies/Government teacher Mrs. Kara Hernandez.  She is very happy to be here at Springville High.  She attended Brigham Young University before she came to teach at SHS.  She wants to help create a positive and fun learning environment for each of her students.  Hernandez hopes that students will leave her classroom with a clear understanding of why History/Government is important and also learn values of how to be successful outside school.

Red Devils lose to Leopards in semifinal state game, 42-14

Submitted by carey.white on Sun, 11/15/2015 - 19:52

Springville’s undefeated Red Devils made their goal—to play at Rice Eccles stadium supported by bus loads of SHS students, faculty, staff, and fans.  In an exciting race to the 4A state football championship, Springville knew getting past East wouldn’t be easy. 

The Red Devils played with high-risk and high-intensity.  In the first half, Springville opted to go for a touchdown instead of a field goal twice in the red zone and came away with zero points both times, which resulted in a halftime score of 14-0, in favor of East.
