Utah...This Is The Place tells the history of Utah through music, slides and narrative. The program will be presented on Wednesday, February 7 at 7 p.m. in the Kanab High School auditorium. I believe academics and athletics benefit rather than hinder each other. Higher academic scores deliver better students. A good athletic program motivates the public as well as the student body. Additionally, well balanced students have more opportunities for a successful future. In my high school, any student trying out for a sport has a recommended grade point average. The requirements ensure responsible, intelligent students. Those selected must be able to handle practice and performance schedules and the possibility that school time will be missed. For example, I participated in cheerleading my freshmen year; an accumulative grade point average of 3.0 was required. Cheerleaders tend to miss a lot of school time considering athletic activities. Furthermore, the higher your grades are, it is easier for each student to miss seat time in school. However, if at any time your grades drop below the required minimum, you will be terminated from the squad. Unfortunately, on one occasion this happened. Our head cheerleader failed a class; consequently she was not allowed to participate in any cheerleading activities for the rest of the school year. When sports activities interfere with academic improvement, stu- dents must make a choice.

Fundraisers are the answer to financial problems. Each year the group presents a program to the public which is sponsored by a local business. The students in the class must sell the tickets for the program. Every year, an abundant attendance from the public is phenomenal. If you were to ask why such a support, the answer most likely will be the town is proud of our school. When a students senior year arrives, scholarships and college prioritize the minds of the kids.
