WE CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW THE DIRT IS GONE........thanks to our amazing Janitor, Chad Carter.  Chad is new to the ALC this year and we are lucky to have him.

Chad grew up in Payson, and graduated from Payson High School. He has been Married to his lovely wife, Jessica (Mikesell) Carter, for 14 years now. They have 2 children, Lexi who is 9 and a total daddy's girl, and Gavin who is 2 and can't wait to go hunting with his dad.

Chad loves hunting, fishing, hiking, shed hunting, target practice watching his daughter play softball, soccer, and basketball, and taking Gavin on 4 wheeler rides.

Chad is the happiest when he is on the go and preferably in the mountains.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO HERE AT THE ALC!!!

MR. ALBRIGHT KEEPS HIS CLASS ENGAGED

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Wed, 10/25/2017 - 08:40

Anytime Mr. Albright's Teacher Education class is in session, you can guarantee that something will be happening that deals with team building and unity. These students look forward to this class. Mr. Albright has guest speakers come into the class as well, giving them first-hand experiences to learn from. 

 Mr. Albright is new to the ALC and we are very fortunate to have Mr. Alan Albright as part of our ALC team.

His "perm-a-grin" is very contagious and his laugh is as well.  He always has a smile and a "hello" for everyone.

Thank you, Mr. Albright, for giving your students the best learning experience ever!

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Wed, 10/18/2017 - 10:58

With Boss week going on this week, we want to take a minute and say " THANK YOU" to our ALC HERO, our boss, BEN FORD.

Ben "THOR" Ford, stepped into the role as principal and boss of the ALC just this year.  Ben had to hit the floor running when stepping into this new position. This was a huge undertaking with the move, and the new building, and also the new sports center.  

We are thrilled to have him here and want to thank him for what he has accomplished so far! 

It has been a fun week full of surprises for our "BOSS" 

"BAR" NONE.... WE HAVE THE BEST BOSS EVER!!!

Our recent Parent Teacher Conference/ Open House was a success. It was fun to see the students and parents come in, to not only talk to their teachers but to show off their school to their parents.  The night was filled with parents, grandparents, community members, and also District Employees.

It was also fun to see the new showcase room filled with Mrs. Massic's student's renditions of their newly designed backpacks.  If you haven't seen the amazing ideas they came up with their prototype backpacks, come on over, The students are happy to give you detailed information on their backpack. Thank you, Parker

Thank you, Parker Youd, for giving our Nebo School District IT Specialist, David Wadley, a great presentation on your start to finish design of your personal backpack.

TEAM BUILDING AT ALC

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Mon, 10/02/2017 - 11:48

Mr. Alan Albright keeps his Teacher Education class hopping, and trying to do a balancing act, LITERALLY!

It is always fun to see what this class is doing next. They have had lots of guest speakers and recently did a team building activity showing each one of them how important it is to have everyone focused on the same thing in order to succeed. 

Thanks for all of your hard work in keeping these students engaged in learning, Mr. Albright.
