Principal's Message
Just For You
No Cheating
Integrity is not a conditional word. It doesn't blow in the wind or change with the weather. It is your inner image of yourself, and if you look in there and see a man who won't cheat, then you know he never will.
~ John D. MacDonald
It can be so easy to "fudge a little," to tell yourself, "No one is looking" or "Everyone else is doing it." But that's not true. You are looking at your own behavior and not everyone else is cheating. We human beings can rationalize almost any bad behavior. That's important to remember when making choices. But we also have a great capacity for living with unshakable integrity and teaching our children to do the same. That's one of the greatest lessons we will ever teach.
With something to think about . . .
Sincerely,
Daniel P. Weishar
Principal

Counseling Corner
Seniors
, if you need
transcripts for colleges/Regent's scholarship
please go to the Counseling Office and fill out a transcript request (except for BYU who just needs your state student ID) and leave it in the Counseling Office. Even though you've been accepted to a college, the colleges require a final transcript with last quarter grades and graduation date on them. We don't mail or email final transcripts out, so you need to be sure to come in and pick them up. The transcripts will be ready for parent or student to pick up starting June 11. Starting July 1 PARENTS CANNOT request or pick up information/transcripts for their students that have, or should have graduated.

IT News
American Fork HS had an impressive 4 teams participate in the Mountainland Code Camp hosted by Xactware. The students competed in teams to develop an original project in a 24-hour coding sprint. They were well supplied with food and drinks to keep them going all night.
Gideon Roberts and JD Flamm
took third place in the Business Application category with their unique Bot Manager App.
Jason Roberts and Elijah Parker
developed an impressive MineCraft game from scratch using only Java.
Jared Judson
developed a cool Ice Shards game in Java. (Pun intended :)
Daxton Dollar and Jefferson Turpin
developed a fast-paced game with attacking penguins and polar bears. Great future talent for some lucky Silicon Slopes company.

In January, AFHS
Japanese students
participated in the biggest language competition in Utah called
Utah Japan Bowl
where schools that offer Japanese from all over the State come together and compete at BYU.
AFHS has won first place 5 years in a row
now and
Nick Lloyd, Edwardo Polanco and Nephi Suyama got a spot to compete in the National Japan Bowl in April in Washington DC.
Due to their amazing performance, they were awarded a free trip from the Japanese Government to Japan this Summer for a week. They really deserved it after working so hard. Congrats students on your awesome achievements!

Also.... our
Softball Team
performed some amazing service! Five.12 Foundation is out of Alpine and is an organization that puts bags of food together for kids to have something to eat on the weekends when they are not getting school lunch and breakfast. Our team volunteered some time to help assemble these bags of food. Almost 1400 bags were assembled in about 45 minutes. What an amazing opportunity our girls had to serve and the humility they felt. Love the hearts of our softball girls! (PS.... Marae and Audrey are not dumpster diving—they are smashing boxes)
