Karl G. Maeser Preparatory Academy invites you to experience Louisa May Alcott’s timeless classic, Little Women, brought to life on stage as a Broadway musical. Follow the unforgettable March sisters; spirited Jo, gentle Meg, artistic Amy, and kind-hearted Beth; as they navigate love, loss, ambition, and the enduring power of family during the American Civil War.
This production marks a monumental moment in our school’s history as the very first fully mounted play in the brand-new Mitchell Auditorium. Be among the first to experience our talented student cast and crew performing in this state-of-the-art venue!
Performances November 18th-21st at 7:30 PM and November 20th-21st at 2:00 PM. Purchase tickets at maeserprep.org/tickets beginning November 8th.

HS National Geography Bee
Maeser High Schoolers Have a Shot at Boston!
This year, Maeser Prep is joining the National Geography Bee, a nationwide competition open to high schools across the country. Our students will compete for the title of Maeser’s Geography Bee Champion between January 3 and February 26, 2027. From there, our school champion advances to a virtual national qualifying round in March, with top qualifiers earning a trip to the National Finals in Boston, Massachusetts this April.
It’s an exciting opportunity for our students to showcase their knowledge of the world — we’ll share more details as our competition date is finalized. Learn more at nationalgeobee.org.
MS (7th & 8th) In-House Geography Bee
This year, our 7th and 8th graders are getting their own spin on the National Geography Bee! Rather than the standard online assessment, Maeser is hosting an in-house geography competition just for our middle schoolers — a fun, school-spirited way to test their world knowledge and see who comes out on top. We’ll share dates and details as they’re finalized!
Lottery Opens
Applications for the 2027-28 school year open at midnight on Nov. 1st at maeserprep.org/admissions! Applications received by January 31st will be included in our lottery! Please let your friends and family know!
Every Day Counts!
The Utah State Board of Education knows that attendance is important for student growth and learning. So they have created the USBE Every Day Counts Initiative. Check out the following posts!
Post 1: Every Day Counts Campaign Introduction
Every Day Counts is a statewide campaign focused on the moments that shape students, including friendships, breakthroughs, confidence, and connection.
Post 2: The 95% Attendance Message
Attending at least 95% of the school year can help students stay on track, while reminding families that the goal is not perfect attendance.
Post 3: Simple Attendance Habits for Families
Practical steps families can take, such as building consistent routines, preparing the night before, and scheduling appointments outside school hours when possible.
Study Hall
Need a quiet productive space after school? Maeser National Honor society will be hosting a Study Hall on Wednesdays from 3:30pm to 4:30pm in room 205. Come if you need a productive space, a desk to work at, or chromebook access. NHS members will supervise the session and will also be open to tutor and answer any questions, if possible.
Math Lab
Do you need some help in math? Do you need a quiet place to work on math homework? The math tutoring lab is open Monday through Thursday each week. Before school (7:15 a.m. – 7:45 a.m.), the math lab is in room #302. After school (3:45 – 4:15 p.m.), the math lab is in room #103. The math lab is FREE and open to all Maeser students in any level of math.
Attendance School
NGs are made up in attendance school:
M-Th 7:15-7:45
