Payson High's Dream Comes True: Kevin Bacon Visits After Students' Persistent Campaign

Students at Payson High School were excited to host actor Kevin Bacon during a visit that coincided with their spring prom. The visit was the result of a long-standing campaign by the students. During the event, student body president Rubie Raff was visibly moved as Bacon appeared on stage to the tune of 'Footloose.'

Kevin Bacon's visit acknowledged the students' efforts. English teacher and student council adviser Jenny Staheli noted that Bacon appreciated the students' campaign. During his visit, Bacon signed one of two custom letterman jackets given to him, which will be displayed in the school's new building.

Bacon did not attend the prom but sent a video message encouraging the students to enjoy the event and treat each other well. His message and the playing of 'Footloose' during the final dance made the day memorable.

The visit had a lasting impact on the students, according to student Dansie, who described it as a significant and memorable experience. The successful campaign to bring Bacon to the school has boosted the students' confidence and pride.
