Weber School District -

Last Friday, history was made on the gridiron as the newest chapter in the “Battle for the Bell” rivalry was penned. In a face-off between familiar roots and new beginnings, West Field High triumphed over Roy High 41-23. The rivalry’s first trophy—a restored, old-fashioned school bell mounted on wood—now finds a new home with the Longhorns after Friday night’s victory. Claiming the bell marked a powerful milestone in their journey as a school and rivalry, but Roy’s resilience runs deep, and this is only the beginning of many fierce battles to come.

⚾ A big thank you to the Weber School District Foundation for hosting a special night at the ballpark with the Raptors last Friday!🎶 The evening kicked off with the Weber High School Chamber Choir singing a beautiful rendition of the national anthem, followed by Assistant Superintendent Clyde Moore throwing out the first pitch.🌟 Our amazing Teachers of the Year were also recognized on the field for their dedication and impact in the lives of students. We’re grateful to the Foundation for all the ways they support our schools, teachers, and students. Learn more about their incredible work at foundation.wsd.net

What a fantastic evening celebrating our military-connected families at the All Area Military-Connected Family Tailgate last Friday! It was a beautiful night filled with fun, food, and community. A huge thank you to everyone who came out to West Field High School. We loved seeing so many of our military-connected families enjoying hot dogs and connecting with each other before the big football game. We are so proud of our Weber School District Purple Star Schools, and it was great to have them and so many amazing local military-supporting businesses and veteran resources there to provide information and support. Events like this are so important for fostering a strong sense of community and ensuring our military families feel supported and celebrated. We appreciate all of you who serve and have served our country and are so grateful to have you as a part of the Weber School District family!

Shield Game 2025! One of Northern Utah’s biggest rivalries didn’t disappoint Friday night as Weber topped Roy 27–19 to reclaim the Shield! The annual battle, first played in 1965, is about more than just football—it’s a clash of tradition, pride, and community spirit. This year’s matchup saw Carter Payne throw three TD passes and Josh Hamblin break free for an 80-yard score. Roy kept it close with a 71-yard reception from Drayden Esplin and a late TD by Ryker Cordero, but they ultimately came up short. The Shield returns to Weber after Roy’s win in 2024, adding another chapter to this historic rivalry.

Fall is in the air, and so is the spirit of competition! We're excited to see our talented student-athletes from across the Weber School District hitting the fields and courts this season. Here are some pictures from the Girl's Soccer game between Bonneville and Fremont. Lakers came out on top at home (3-1) against the Silverwolves. Whether it's the strategic plays in Girl's Soccer and Football, the powerful spikes in Girl's Volleyball, the precision of Girl's Tennis and Boy's Golf, or the endurance of Cross Country, there are so many ways to support our students and staff. Let's cheer on our teams and show our school pride!

A true Roy High icon! Last week, the Roy High baseball field was named in honor of Coach Fred Thompson. Beyond his impressive record of 5 region baseball titles (ranking 11th all-time in Utah!), 7 region football titles (as defensive coordinator), and 3 region basketball titles (as assistant coach), Coach Thompson's impact on his players' lives is immeasurable. His dedication to their success both on and off the field is his lasting legacy. What a fantastic tribute alongside his wife Helen and their wonderful family!
