Lamb, who has been teaching for 27 years, decorates her classroom with posters and handmade college flags from her senior students.

High school.
A time for school work, events, socializing and figuring out who you are.

Blake Miller ’27 started playing guitar two years ago and bass this year, now playing every day. Miller has been taking lessons for around two years and wants to take music theory class when he becomes a sophomore.
“One of the things I love most about guitar is the different ways to play the same thing and all of the variations of notes,” Miller said. “I love how the music is written and how different tunings can change [the sound of] things.”
Cate Walls ‘26 started acting in kindergarten and has been a part of Drama Club since freshman year. Walls was recently in the fall One Acts, playing Leona in the short play “Cuttin’ Line.”
“I just love the experimental part of it, getting to be someone else, maybe someone you would never get to live like and just see a glimpse into that,” Walls said. “I also love the community that acting creates because once you find your place it really is like a family who supports each other through everything. Sharing a passion with so many people is such an amazing experience that I adore.”
Rock Canyon has over 70 clubs and the opportunity to create any club that you’d like.
“Having hobbies is important because without them you lose structure and you can meet new people with similar interests if you have hobbies,” Miller said.
Eesha Patel ‘27 has been drawing and creating art for nearly all of her life.
“I enjoy drawing because it’s a way I like to express myself,” Patel said. “And I like making pretty things that people like and things that make people happy.”
According to GetSchooled.com, “Clubs can help you develop personal and professional skills that last a lifetime! No matter what type of club you’re in, being part of a group can help you grow and strengthen skills like leadership, communication, the ability to work as a team, and so many more.”
