Maple Mountain High School Guide: Boundaries, Counselors, Graduation Rate and the Golden Eagles' Titles

Maple Mountain High in Spanish Fork, home of the Golden Eagles: who attends from Mapleton and Spanish Fork, counselors by last name, a 96.2% graduation rate, college credit and state titles.

Maple Mountain High School serves all of Mapleton and about a third of Spanish Fork. Home of the Golden Eagles, it sits at 51 North Spanish Fork Parkway and enrolled 1,897 students in the state's October 2025 count, the most of any Nebo School District high school. Its Class of 2025 graduated at 96.2%, third-best in Utah County, and its teams have piled up first-ever state titles over the last few years.

This guide covers what families ask: who attends, the Nebo calendar, the numbers, how counseling and college credit work, sports and the arts, and registration. Maple Mountain is in Nebo School District, which isn't affected by the Alpine split. School details are from Maple Mountain's website, read Nov. 13, 2026; enrollment and graduation figures are from the Utah State Board of Education.

Who attends: the boundary

Maple Mountain's attendance area is the largest in Utah County by land, about 622 square miles on Nebo's boundary map, because it takes in the mountains and canyon country east of Mapleton and Spanish Fork. The people, though, are concentrated in two cities:

The feeder schools:

Spanish Fork splits between Maple Mountain and Spanish Fork High, and Larsen Elementary splits right down the middle, so neighbors can end up at different high schools. Check any address with Nebo before you buy or rent. Our Maple Mountain attendance-area page lists the feeders, and the Spanish Fork High guide covers the other side of the city.

The two cities it serves

The school shares its name with Maple Mountain, the peak above Mapleton, and the two halves of its boundary feel different. Mapleton is the quieter, large-lot city at the foot of the mountain between Springville and Spanish Fork, known for custom homes, bigger yards and horse property; our Living in Mapleton guide covers it. The Spanish Fork side is about a third of that city's land; our Living in Spanish Fork guide covers the whole city. Students from both cities come up through Maple Grove Middle and Mapleton Junior High before high school.

The district: Nebo

Maple Mountain is one of Nebo School District's five large high schools, with Payson, Salem Hills, Spanish Fork and Springville. Nebo covers the south end of Utah County, and it isn't splitting: the Alpine breakup affects only the north and west of the county. Our Nebo School District guide covers the district.

Schedule and the 2026-27 calendar

Maple Mountain runs on A/B days; the school's online calendar marks each day as A or B. The bell schedule is posted as a document linked from the home page; call the office if you can't open it.

The school follows Nebo's 2026-27 calendar, 180 school days:

Size, students and graduation

The state's Oct. 1, 2025 count:

Grade Students
10th 661
11th 604
12th 632
Total 1,897

About 14% of students are Hispanic and about 81% white; about 12% are economically disadvantaged, the lowest share in Nebo, and 57 are English learners.

The Class of 2025, 608 students, graduated at 96.2% with a 3.5% dropout rate. Only Lone Peak (97.0%) and Westlake (96.6%) did better in Utah County.

Nebo's five high schools side by side

Students Grad rate 2025 Econ. disadvantaged
Maple Mountain 1,897 96.2% 11.6%
Springville 1,632 95.7% 20.6%
Salem Hills 1,513 95.6% 14.0%
Payson 1,680 94.8% 23.3%
Spanish Fork 1,565 93.6% 18.4%

All five beat the state rate. Maple Mountain is the largest and has the smallest share of low-income students. Our graduation rates guide covers every county school.

Counseling: seven counselors by last name

Maple Mountain's counseling page is laid out clearly. Students are assigned to one of seven counselors by last name, from A-Ce to Sn-Z, and each counselor has an online appointment request. The same office has:

The counseling page links resources on college credit (AP and CE), credit recovery, ACT and testing, internships and CTE pathways, the NCAA Clearinghouse for athletes, online options, scholarships and community resources, plus the master schedule, course descriptions, an academic planner, college deadlines, classroom and well-being presentations, and graduation requirements.

College credit

Like the other Nebo high schools, Maple Mountain offers Advanced Placement courses and concurrent enrollment through Utah Valley University. UVU charges a one-time $35 admission fee and $5 per credit hour, and Nebo high schools such as Salem Hills and Payson require an ACT or placement test score before CE English or math. Students aiming for a UVU associate degree or general education certificate in high school meet with UVU's adviser at Nebo's Advanced Learning Center (ALC) in Salem, and Nebo students can also take tuition-free certificate programs at Mountainland Technical College, paying fees and materials. Ask the CE coordinator which CE classes run at Maple Mountain this year.

Sports and the arts

Maple Mountain plays in 5A Region 7 with Payson, Pleasant Grove, Salem Hills, Spanish Fork, Springville and Timpview; for football, Orem replaces Salem Hills. The Spanish Fork game is the crosstown one.

The school's run of first-ever titles, from the Daily Herald, KSL and the Deseret News:

Year Title
Feb. 2021 First sanctioned girls wrestling state title, 192.5 points
Nov. 2023 First girls volleyball state title, 3-1 over Bountiful
May 2024 First baseball state title, sweeping top-seeded Brighton
May 2024 and 2025 Back-to-back 5A boys volleyball titles
Jan. 2026 5A co-ed cheer title
Oct. 2026 5A boys cross country title, 71 points

Behind the table are some long-awaited firsts. The 2021 girls wrestling title was the first the UHSAA ever sanctioned for girls, won against a combined 5A, 3A, 2A and 1A field, KSL reported. The girls volleyball team, under coach Adam Longmore, beat second-seeded Bountiful 25-14, 25-22, 18-25, 25-19 at the UCCU Center in November 2023 for the program's first crown. Six months later, baseball under coach Jeremy Thomas swept top-seeded Brighton, 12-9 and 7-4, for the school's first baseball title. Boys volleyball, coached by Napoleon Galang, won in 2024 and repeated in 2025 with a 25-16, 25-15, 25-15 sweep of Wasatch. In January 2026 the co-ed cheer team took the 5A title and also won the show category, and in October 2026 the boys cross country team won 5A with 71 points, ahead of Timpview in third.

Spring 2026 brought two near-misses. Baseball reached the 5A final and lost the series 2-1 to Spanish Fork, which won its second straight title. Boys soccer, under coach Lincoln Snyder, lost the 5A final to Bountiful 1-0 on a golden goal in double overtime.

The athletics page lists cross country, football, boys golf, girls soccer, girls tennis and girls volleyball in the fall; boys and girls basketball, competitive cheer, drill, swimming and boys and girls wrestling in the winter; and baseball, girls golf, boys and girls lacrosse, boys soccer, softball, boys tennis, track and field and boys volleyball in the spring. Activities include band, choir, dance company, drama and orchestra.

Tickets are sold through the event ticketing link on the athletics page, and games stream on Hudl TV, linked from the same page, for grandparents and anyone who can't make it to the gym. The director of athletics and activities, Jeff Lake, is listed on the athletics page with the events coordinator. Our high school football guide and sports calendar cover the county.

Student life

The school's news feed gives a feel for the place. Each month it names Eagle Vision Award recipients and Soaring Eagles, students recognized by teachers for effort and attitude, and departments pick their own standouts; this fall the social studies department named outstanding seniors and juniors. Football season brought a tailgate-themed school lunch. Sports photos, a YouTube channel, senior banners, an athletics Hall of Fame and an athlete of the week round out the athletics site, and the athletic program's stated goal is an "Attitude of Excellence."

How Maple Mountain's day compares

Nebo lets each high school set its own day, and they differ more than families expect. Maple Mountain alternates A and B days, like most Alpine and Provo high schools. Salem Hills runs five periods every day from 7:50 a.m. to 2:25 p.m., and Payson runs four periods from 8 a.m., ending at 2:30 Tuesday through Friday and 1:45 on Mondays. If you're comparing schools or moving between them, ask how a transfer student's classes line up.

Registering a new student

Maple Mountain's registration page splits families two ways:

  1. Existing Nebo families register returning students, or add a new student, through the Parent Portal.
  2. Families new to Nebo use Nebo's online registration for new students, preschool through 12th grade.

Watch for follow-up emails from the school; the page notes extra steps are sometimes required. Registration covers the current 2026-27 school year, so a family moving in mid-year can start right away. Then bring proof of residence, a birth certificate, immunization records and any transcripts or IEP, and request a counselor appointment by last name.
