LAYTON — Tears flowed freely during an assembly Friday at Layton High School after the junior prom queen was announced.

Students gave a spontaneous standing ovation as junior Sabrina Newman had a surprise reunion with her father, who visited on leave from a 22-month deployment.

Sabrina, already in shock from having learned she was to be crowned the junior prom queen, waited anxiously for her name to be announced as she stood with her best friend’s dad as her escort, still thinking her dad was away with the military.

LAYTON -- Layton High School art teachers want their students to know there is more to a career in the arts than meets the eye.

As part of the third annual Layton High legion activity, students were given the opportunity Wednesday to explore careers in their field of interest.

Students in the artistic legion were given a sneak peek at a Discovery Channel documentary that follows the daily work of Joe Walsh, general stage manager of Cirque du Soleil's "O" at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. The show will air sometime in May.
