Where did Labor Day Originate from?

Labor Day was created as a way to acknowledge and pay tribute to the workforce, for all that they have done to make our country prosperous and strong.

The first Labor Day was celebrated in New York City, and other cities followed this example in the following years.

It was in  1894 that congress passes a law making the first Monday of September a legal holiday.

Thank you to all of those who work so hard every day so that we have what we need to be prosperous.

Have an awesome weekend.

The school will resume on Tuesday, September 7th and it will be a "B" day. 

We are so excited to be back in school.

It was so fun to see returning ALC students and to see new faces as well among the crowd.

Here's to a great school year.

Welcome back Student's.

Many classes at the ALC offer concurrent enrollment (CE) credit for high school students.

If you are new to concurrent enrollment we will be hosting an information session(info below). You don’t need to wait for this session to get admitted to the colleges or registered for classes. The links and dates below will help you to successfully complete your enrollment.

As a reminder, students DO NOT need a parking pass at the ALC.  Student parking is limited to the west parking lot only.  Thank you! 

IS TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE?

There have been a few changes to the ALC Bus Schedule so please check your school's times and bus numbers.  We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

As a reminder:

Don't miss the ALC's Back To School Open House, Monday August 16th, from 3-5pm. We are excited to welcome you back to the building to meet your teachers and staff.  At the Advanced Learning center (ALC) we provide early college and career technology courses to Nebo high school students. We offer a wide variety of advanced learning opportunities such as robotics, digital media, engineering, architecture, digital marketing, health science, aviation, IT classes and more. A school bus provides free transportation to and from Maple Mountain High School, Payson High School, Spanish Fork High School and Springville High School.

ALC students Jaxson Belliston and Sterling Shoemaker were recognized Saturday evening by Salem Mayor Kurt Christensen for their roles in filming the Soarin' Salem drone video shown during Salem Days 2021.  Jaxson and Sterling spent countless hours, including during the summer, filming breathtaking footage of Salem Utah from the top of Tower Mountain and throughout the city.  The ALC drone also flew year round to capture highlights of local businesses, much to the delight of the Salem Days audience.

Dear Nebo District Families: 

Welcome back to the start of another school year! We hope you had a safe and renewing summer with your families. We are excited to see your student(s) back for at-school learning again this fall and are committed to working with you on another amazing school year. Together, we are sure we can keep our students safe and provide an excellent education. As we announced last May:

McKay Ewell, an ALC Business and Media Production Capstone student received his $500 learning challenge grant from Grip Tape this week.  Through GripTape, 14-19 year olds can apply to do a project of their own choosing (e.g. learn how to build a bridge, start a business, learn how to 3D print, etc.) and, if accepted, receive $500 to implement it in 10 weeks along with help from a mentor. Grip Tape gives students support to pursue and seize control of their own learning.

In preparing their essay students were asked:

1. Share your passion. Tell us about the topic you want to pursue for your Learning Challenge.

Nebo CAPS, an experiential learning program at the Advanced Learning Center, was spotlighted this week in a press release from The Younique Foundation.  Mrs. Ewell's Business & Media Production CAPS course, in conjunction with Mrs. Ralph's Communications class, have worked to produce a video that teaches their peers about consent.
