March 2023

On Friday March 3rd, we will be celebrating SKYHAWK Day as a school! We will celebrate with a spirit bowl, extended lunch and DONUTS for all!

What is Skyhawk Day?

Salem Hills girls and boys basketball teams won state championships on the same date at UVU. The boys team beat Juan Diego High School. The girls team beat Hurricane High School. Only eight schools in the state have won both boys and girls basketball championships in the same year since 1993. What sets Salem Hills apart from those other eight high schools is that our girls and boys won their state championships on the same date at the same location. Skyhawks were first to do so in UHSAA history.

Thus, the Utah County Commissioner designated March 3, 2018 as Salem Hills Skyhawks Day for such a momentous event. Girls and Boys Basketball programs from the same high school, from Utah County, in Utah County at UVU.

Please join us in celebrating by showing your Skyhawk pride!
