POetry Slam Winners

Nebo School District recently held its annual Junior High Poetry Slam, bringing together talented young poets from all five junior high schools. Each school chose three school-level winners to represent at the district slam.  All of the student "slammers" impressed the audience with their powerful words and original poetry.  A special thanks goes out to our dedicated English teachers, whose support and preparation helped make this event a success.

We are proud to recognize this year’s winners:


1st Place: Ellie Hilton, Mapleton Junior High

2nd Place: Cambria Hyatt, Payson Junior High

3rd Place: Malea Ainge & Oriana Lunceford, Payson Junior High (Two-Voice Poem)


Congratulations to Payson Junior High for taking home the title of Overall Winning School!
