Nebo School District and Maple Mountain High has held an annual Super Star Track and Field Day for the past seven years. This is not any ordinary track and field event. In fact is it held for “Super Stars”--Nebo’s special needs students. 

Nebo’s fifth-grade students participated in the Utah County Hope of America Program sponsored by the America’s Freedom Foundation.  Nebo students practiced songs, including actions, in preparation for this patriotic musical celebration.  

The performance was inspiring for students and parents that were able to participate and attend the Hope of America program held in the Brigham Young University Marriott Center. 

Principal Ryan Murray addressed the Nebo School Board of Education and expressed how thankful he is for the wonderful parents that support the great children of Orchard Hills Elementary.  He is also thankful for the dedicated teachers and introduced one teacher, Tammy Dragger that then led the students in an orchestra performance to the delight of the board and to all those in attendance. 

The Nebo School Board of Education and Superintendent Nielsen meets with students from each of the high schools and junior high schools on a quarterly basis. Each Youth Board representative is selected by his/her principal to be a spokesperson for their school.
