Congrats to the Draper APA JH Girls Basketball Team on winning the State Championship! They played against American Heritage in the final game of the championship and won 44-15! Go Eagles!!

All American Prep Draper schools will be closed today.

The heavy snow and strong winds pelting the Salt Lake Valley have prompted the closure of schools today, Feb. 3, 2020, in Canyons School District. American Preparatory Draper schools follow the Canyons District for inclement weather.

Any extracurricular activities and events are also cancelled due to the extreme weather and dangerous road conditions.

The cancellation is for one day only. Additional information will be sent out if the regular school schedule is altered in subsequent days.

Just a few days ago, the Women’s Tech Council in Utah posted that it’s now official…… “March 20th is now Utah Girls in Tech Day. Utah Girls in Tech Day bill was approved by the state legislature and Governor Herbert to celebrate the strong efforts that are happening across the state to encourage more girls into tech and STEM fields. It is also a call to action for industry, community, educators, parents and students to engage, activate and inspire girls in their tech dreams. Special thanks to Senator Ann Millner for sponsoring this bill”… It’s exciting that APA D3 is part of this process!

Ballroom Blast Team Experience for 7^th-12^th Graders 

Want to learn moves to impress the ladies?  Want to show off your dancing’ dexterity?  Want to have fun, set to music?  Then sign up for our Ballroom Blast Team Experience.  We’ll shimmy our way through a variety of ballroom styles, we’ll jive our way through high-energy routines, and we’ll learn an awesome dance to perform at the Ballroom Company’s end-of-year concert.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be on a ballroom team–this is your chance to experience the glory, the fame, and the fortune of dance!  (Okay–so there’s no fortune–but there will be a lot of fun!)

Important Note: All boys who register will receive a king-size candy bar the first day of class!
