Christmas mistletoe is a tradition that has brought kissable moments to couples around the world.


During Christmas time there’s a story that comes with this parasitic plant. Whichever two people that are caught under the plant are supposed to kiss. It is considered to bestow life and fertility.


Senior Austin Barker said he hopes to take advantage of the mistletoe’s cupid like powers, “I want to kiss Bethany Farr under the mistletoe and just make it happen.”

Dixie High school’s recent hero is named Katie Whicker. She is always ready to complete whatever comes at her and she’s always on top of her game.



Even though she has had more surgeries in her life than most entire schools, she’s still fighting.


Recently, Katie just got back from one of her surgeries in Ohio. She was there for about six months. This amazing girl looks just as beautiful as ever.

Christmas in Dixie

Christmas in Dixie

The Dixie High auditorium was filled with people awaiting for the concert to start. Jon and Dave from 94.1 were the hosts and the entertainers of the night. 


Christmas in Dixie is a Dixie High tradition that the school does every Christmas season to raise money for Angel Tree. This year there were seventeen performances of dancing and singing. The Dixie High Madrigals did their well known songs: 12 Days of Christmas and Santa Baby. 


There were many students and alumni that performed throughout the night. Graduate, Sammy Myers and her brother, Nate Myers, a senior, both performed their own songs. The Dixie High jazz band performed a few Christmas songs of their own.

Christmas Choir Tour

It is a tradition for the Choir Class (including Madrigals) to go on the annual Christmas Tour. They went to Salt Lake City and stayed at the Hampton Inn Motel. 


All Choirs went and performed at the UDOT, Cathedral of the Madeline, the Utah Capitol, Primary Children's Hospital, the LDS Church Office Building, and the Assembly Hall. 


Madrigals performed at the governor’s mansion and the Joseph Smith Memorial. The Madrigal boys put on a performance with a silly Twelve Days of Christmas song at the UDOT, Primary Children’s Hospital, and Temple Square.”
