Dr. Everett Kelepolo is our new principal here at Springville High School.  He has taught and has been a principal for the past 24 years at three different schools.

He has taught economics, accounting, marketing, physical education and weight training.  His years of teaching included assignments at Lehi High and Spanish Fork High.  He was also principal of Springville Jr. High.  For the past eight years, he was in a supervisory position at Nebo District office.  While he was with the district office, he worked in athletics and student services.

Kelepolo commented on what his focus will be as our new school principal.

Kelepolo said, “Our main focus is on student learning.”  

He said that preparing students for college is also an emphasis.

Kelepolo reflected on his observations of Springville High in regard to academics and school spirit.

“We are working on the vision to have the discipline of West Point, the academic rigors of Harvard, and the fun of Disneyland,” said Kelepolo.

Kelepolo said that his most rewarding experience while being a principal and teaching is the interaction he has with the students.

Kelepolo also coached many sports during his 24 years of teaching.  He has coached football, wrestling, and track at both Lehi and Spanish Fork High.
