My Hometown: The Greatest EVER!

Rexburg, ID is a superb place. The mountains, the farms, the Mormons everywhere you look, and not to mention BYU-Idaho right in its heart, all make this town the best ever. There are only about 22,000 people living there, but the small-town feel is one of its best characteristics. You know people everywhere you go and they all have one thing in common: they live in the most dense population of LDS people in the world and in the most dense population of Conservative Repulicans in the nation. It's true. They've done studies. The residents take pride in their unity of purpose and direction and even of the little closed-on-Sundays Wal-mart. There is so much to be proud of.
Just down the hill from the newly dedicated temple sits Madison High School: the jewel of all secondary education. From nation renowned choirs, orchestras, and dance teams, to the current 5A State Boys Basketball Champs, to an extremly high average GPA, this institution demands the highest of quality in all aspects of academic and extracurricular activity. It's no wonder that its graduates go on to do great things in the world. (Almost like a mini BYU.)
All in all, little Rexburg may only have two main roads, but it's population affects big things!
