It features other programs in the fine arts such as ballroom dance, speech, debate, and various visual art and sculpture programs.
There have been 5 directors of the band program in the ten years the school has been open.
In its ten years the symphonic band has consistently qualified for performance at the State festival[citation needed]. The jazz band has also consistently qualified for state, and placed in the top 3 under the direction of Mr. Faires.
The marching band also has an award winning colorguard that competes on the winter circuit, having earned first place in the state on past occasions.[citation needed] The band claimed first place in the Trubaco Hills Competition in Southern California in 2006.
The Lone Peak Winter Drumline is the reigning champion in its division. There are seven winter drumlines in the state, two in the same class as Lone Peak. They have been awarded first place at every in-state competition that have chosen to attend[citation needed] and have been finalists in the SCPA, SJVCGPR, and Hayward Circuits since their first year, 2004. In spring 2006 they placed in the top 20 at WGI World Championships. The Drumline's director was Andy Garcia.

Academics
Over 100 students get a 4.0 GPA each term, with about 250 making the honor roll of 3.7-3.95. Lone Peak offers several Honor and AP classes throughout the year as well as several off-campus classes at several different colleges such as BYU, University of Utah, UVSC, and several business and technical colleges.
Academic Decathlon
Every year Lone Peak High School gathers together nine students, three from each GPA category of <3.0, 3.0-3.4, and 3.5-4.0, who then train for several weeks to gain knowledge sufficient to compete in the Academic Decathlon (AcaDec, for short) competition. Because Lone Peak is the only High School in its region that participates in the contest the team doesn't have to compete in Regional Tournaments, but moves straight on to State.
The AcaDec team for 2006-2007 came in third in the Large-School division of the competition.
