I go to payson high school and I am having an amazing experience! I love this school I feel like other schools are not as welcoming as payson is I feel like I belong at this school and I am loving it. The teachers are very smart I learn so many new things every day and I connect with them. I never feel judged here and I’ve had a great experience I would 10/10 recommend!

Amazing! I love how much this school cares for each individual student! I am grateful for this schools influence on the kids and how they treat them all as individuals and not just numbers. Everyone I have spoken to or have had to speak with has been fantastic! Just an amazing school!

I am here to say that Payson High School is NOT Trash. Often we are viewed as a trashy school, this is a stereotype that we are trying to break free of because not everyone does drugs, not everyone gets pregnant, and not everyone has failing grades. This is a good student body and a good school. No it's not perfect but it's not as trashy as everyone makes it sound. And yes our football team has not had a great past, but this year we have made progress, a lot of progress. A football team, a few failing grades, a few bad choices do not define a school or the students in it. Payson High has pride to be proud of, because WE ARE A NEW PAYSON!

The teachers really care about their students. You can find programs at the school for any student: everything from rigorous academic programs for those kinds of students and excellent fine arts, to career and technical programs like auto and agriculture. There is a lot of diversity in courses (sport psychology, film history, American wars, etc.). The culture of the school feels like a family.

Get some new teachers and administrators . Students need to have gone examples to follow so they can expand their knowledge and experience.
