The Utah Legislature in Utah Code, Section 53A-1-611(2)(b) and Section 53A-1-611(2)(d) as clarified in the Utah State Board of Education Rule (UT Admin Code R277-7-5-4), mandated that students must pass the Utah Basic Skills Competency Test (UBSCT) in order to receive a Basic High School Diploma.  Students who do not pass all components of the test may receive an Alternative Completion Diploma if they provide documentation of at least 3 attempts to take all subtests of the UBSCT.

The Utah Basic Skills competency Test (UBSCT) covers three content areas:  Reading, Writing and Mathematics.  Students must achieve a score of 160 or higher on each of the three subtests to pass.  Students are not required to retake any subtests they have passed in previous administrations of the UBSCT.  For more information about the UBSCT and to view a released form of the test, please visit the Utah State Office of Education website at http://www.usoe.k12.ut.us/eval/BSCT/bsct.htm

The next administration of the UBSCT at Springville High School will be October 21 (writing), 22 (math), 23 (reading).  Testing will begin at 8:00 a.m. each day, room assignments will be posted at the counseling center during the testing week.  This test is for Juniors and Seniors only.  All Sophomores will be taking the test in February. 

Colton Ramon grinds out more yards against the Mt. View Bruins last Thursday night at Springvilles last home game.
Red Devils fall to Bruins
BY:  DAN FOSTER, SHS Staff Writer

In what looked like an absolute blowout for the Red Devil Boys Football Team, turned into a fight for life last Thursday night as the Bruins shocked Springville 35-27.  Isaac Allred simply torched the Mountain View defense in the early part of the game with pass after pass being completed for short gains and touchdowns, making the lead 20-0.  So, the Bruins decided to put all of their weight on the running back who carried his team into the end zone twice, closing the gap 20-14 still in favor of the Red Devils.
At the beginning of the second half, Colton Ramon was able to bust the seams for a 28- yard touchdown run. It looked like Springville would be running away with another region win. But when Mountain View decided to pull out their bag of tricks, they found success and surprised the Red Devils with two straight touchdowns on a double reverse, and then a double reverse half back pass.  Because of a missed PAT earlier in the game, Springville found themselves down 28-27.  On the ensuing possession, Mountain View scored making it 35-27. Springville’s offense was forced to go to the air to score a touchdown and then tack on two extra points to force overtime.  But the Bruins defense stifled the Red Devils making them turn the ball over on downs and ending the game.     The next football game will be away at Payson on Friday, October 24; come cheer the Red Devils onto victory!
