Students in the Alpine School District have continued to outpace their peers in both the state and nation on national testing programs. Test results from the norm referenced SBS program and the American College Testing program which were reported earlier this year placed Alpine District students ahead of similar student groups across Utah and the nation. New test results for 1987 from the Advanced Placement Program also show continued success for Alpine students. The AP program allows academically gifted students, generally juniors and seniors, to demonstrate their skills and earn college credit at the same time. In 1987, 46 percent of the seniors in the Alpine School District (based on October enrollment) took Advanced Placement exams. Of these 64 percent passed with a score of 3 or better and received college credit. There were a total of 804 exams taken in the district with 509 participating par-ticipating (some students take more than one exam). District students took Advanced Placement exams in 18 different subjects in 1987. American History is the most popular AP subject with 245 exams taken this past year in the district. English Composition and Literature ranked second with 213 exams taken. Other popular AP subjects offered in the district include Biology, chemistry, American Government, Comparative Government and Calculus.

The city decided to expand the current building after considering , several alternative locations for a Fire Department building. One city structure ended the year on uncertain ground. The indoor pool, adjacent to American Fork Jr. High, was closed in December after an engineer's report showed the building was unsafe. The city still hasn't decided how to resolve the pool problem. The Alpine School District spent the year working on new programs and new policies, but ended 1987 with the same brand of negative publicity that has plagued the district for several years. New or revised policies on search and seizure, drug abuse and how to deal with AIDS victims who are students or employees were all okayed by the board. A change in the district's nepotism policy was not approved. Some area schools were open longer as Highland Elementary entered the second year of its extended ex-tended day program, and Shelley and Forbes Elementary both adopted similar extended day schedules. And American Fork High School students began receiving grades for citizenship in addition to academic grades, as the new program was implemented to cut down on absenteeism ab-senteeism and tardies. But the year ended in minor controversies as the district was criticized for being too conservative in not allowing a University of Utah professor to talk to a group of high school students about AIDS, and for being not conservative enough in allowing American Fork High School students to take part in a controversial sex survey circulated by a Governor's Task Force on Teenage Pregnancy. Also in local schools, American Fork High School celebrated its 75 anniversary. Another anniversary saw the American Fork Hospital celebrate 50 years of service to the community. com-munity. It was a stormy year for the Utah State Training School, as the school faced a cut off of federal funds at different times throughout the year. The Training School also made state-wide headlines when an outbreak out-break of hemolytic uremic syndrome syn-drome (HUS) caused the death of several residents' and forced the institution to be quarantined for a time. The school ended the year with medicare funds extended thanks to a federal court order, but for how long is unknown. The Adventure and Learning Park, once under the control of the Training School, was saved by Utah County, as the county assumed operation and maintenance of the park with a 23-year lease from the county. In 1987, one industry that was thought to be dead took on new life, as BMT bought out USX's Geneva Plant an4 began making steel once again. In addition to beginnings, there were some notable endings in 1987. Robinson's Sporting Goods ended 41 years of doing business on American Fork's Main Street, as the doors were closed and inventory was auctioned off. State Rep. Merrill Fox, who represented Lehi and part of American Fork, was killed in an ATV accident on his Lehi farm during the year. His wife, Christine, was appointed to complete his two-year two-year term.
