We are excited to begin our 2015 Regional “You Can Pay for College” Nights. We will begin each event with a 30 minute financial aid presentation, followed by a college fair. Keep in mind that these events are open to anyone who is interested in going to college, however, only 9th
-12th graders are eligible for the scholarships. Students and parents can attend any of UHEAA’s events to learn about paying for college and talk to representatives from Utah’s colleges & universities.

Box Elder High School Choirs present: a Fall Choral Showcase! The concert will be held Tuesday, October 13that 7:00 PM in the BEHS Auditorium. There is no admission charge. This fall’s lineup includes Concert Choir and Madrigals performing a set of National Anthems from different nations. There will be a special Barbershop Quartet performance of the Star Spangled Banner, made up of Casey Wood, student teacher Jaron Putnam, Nathan Bigler, and Jeff Bigler. Students in Men’s Chorus and Women’s Chorus will be premiering custom arrangements of disco tunes, written for them by Casey Wood, and will feature Casey at the keyboard. Concert Choir and Madrigals have also worked very hard to prepare “Stomp Your Foot,” a chorus from the opera The Tender Land by Aaron Copland.Madrigals were recently invited to perform for the National Convention of the Sons of the Utah Pioneers, for which they prepared a program of historic music from the Mormon migration. They will reprise this set for the Fall Showcase. This will feature guitar by Jaron Putnam, and fiddling by Stephen Millsap. They have also prepared the “Hallelujah, Utah,” –another request from the SUP, and will present it as part of the concert.
All 11th-grade students will be enrolled in a SCHMOOP, ACT Prep Class, sometime between now and February to prepare them to take the ACT Test March 1. Students will be referred alphabetically during Bee Time for two weeks at a time. Remember: they can access the SCHMOOP Web site at home if additional practice is needed.
