Finding Nebo

In this episode of the Finding Nebo podcast, Lindsey Hughes and Seth Sorenson welcome back Ronda Hair to discuss the Nebo School District Career Center and how it’s helping students explore career options, build workforce skills, and prepare for life after high school. Ronda shares how the Career Center supports students through career nights, industry connections, resume and interview coaching, and early career exploration, while also serving as a valuable resource for families and educators across the district.

In this episode, we sit down with several of our district’s administrative interns as they reflect on Admin Intern Week—what they learned, what surprised them, and how the experience is shaping their leadership journey. They share candid insights about principal meetings, building relationships with staff and students, navigating tough situations, and discovering the real day-to-day of school leadership. It’s an honest, uplifting look at growing as an educator and stepping into new responsibilities.

Lindsey and Seth sit down with Salem Hills coach and National Guard member Jenn Hughes to talk mental toughness, finding purpose through trials, and the power of small acts of service. Jenn shares her journey from a devastating car accident to Olympic trial-level running and becoming the oldest woman to complete basic training, and how those experiences inspired a district-wide effort to unite Nebo athletes through community service and connection.

Hosts Lindsey Hughes and Seth Sorenson sit down with Aryn Kamae from United Way of Utah County to discuss how charitable giving strengthens our community. Aryn shares how United Way supports families through programs in financial stability, childhood literacy, and youth mental health, and highlights the new Payson Community Center, offering free classes and resources for local families. The episode also celebrates Nebo School District’s Month of Giving, encouraging everyone to give back—through donations, service, or simple acts of kindness.
