Catch the Day One Magic! 🕶️✨
There’s nothing quite like the energy of the first day of school! To celebrate, our team put together a fast-paced Reel featuring students across our 51 schools rocking their "First Day 2026" shades—from kindergarteners holding hands at drop-off to high schoolers bringing the ultimate first-day style. It’s a quick, fun look at the heart of the #WSDAdvantage: creating a high-energy, welcoming environment where all 30,000+ of our students are ready to Learn, Lead, and Exceed!

From the sweet, excited smiles of our littlest elementary students holding hands with their parents at drop-off, to junior high high-fives stepping off the buses, and high schoolers bringing the ultimate first-day style—our halls are alive again, and we couldn't be happier!
That instant feeling of belonging, high energy, and endless possibility? That’s the #WSDAdvantage in full effect. Our amazing teachers, bus drivers, and staff poured their hearts into making yesterday smooth, safe, and fun for all of our students.










Foundation Board Chair Jeremy Dunn kicked off the excitement by throwing out the ceremonial first pitch, followed by a stunning National Anthem performance by the talented Weber High Chamber Choir.
The highlight of the night was taking the field to recognize three of our outstanding Teachers of the Year—Marnie Favero, Monique Nielsen, and Chancy Kelley! We also want to give a heartfelt shoutout to the rest of our Teacher of the Year honorees who weren't able to join us at the ballpark last night.







Last night was filled with immense pride, joy, and maybe a few happy tears as our Weber School District community gathered for the official ribbon-cutting of the brand-new, inclusive playground at Green Acres Elementary!
What started three years ago as a vision to ensure EVERY student—regardless of ability—has a space to play, connect, and belong is now a reality. Thanks to an incredible grassroots effort, our community raised $325,000 to bring this dream to life!










Keynote speaker Edson Barton, CEO of YouScience, shared how every student deserves a clear path to success. Our teachers stepped into their students’ shoes by taking the YouScience Aptitude & Career Discovery assessment—learning how to use real-time data to help students uncover natural talents, refine class schedules, and align with high-demand careers.
That is the #WSDAdvantage in action: giving our students a personalized head start toward college, trade programs, and 21st-century careers!
To top off a day of collaboration, three lucky teachers won $100 classroom grants from the Weber School District Foundation!








Superintendent Gina Butters delivered a moving keynote address centered on this year’s theme, "Ignite the Light." She reminded our new team members that every teacher carries a spark, and when ignited, their positive influence spreads to transform lives, build connections, and create safe, loving environments for our 30,000+ students.
To our new educators: We are so grateful you chose Weber School District! You have an entire community behind you cheering you on.

As we gather with family, friends, and neighbors to celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday this 4th of July, Weber School District is looking back on a remarkable year of patriotism and community! ✨
Throughout the school year, our students and staff have immersed themselves in the history and joy of this milestone. We’ve felt the spirit of freedom alive in our halls through:
🦅 A breathtaking visit from a golden eagle at West Weber Elementary.
🎶 Inspiring, patriotic musical performances by the talented students at Burch Creek Elementary and Silver Ridge Elementary.
✍️ Thoughtful writing challenges, school-wide assemblies, and deeply moving events honoring our local veterans.

Huge shoutout to Mr. Kenny Hokanson and his incredible construction and woodworking students at Roy High School! Before the end of the school year they put their skills to work to build seven Little Libraries for our Roy Cone feeder schools!
This amazing project is all about promoting literacy and giving back. Our high schoolers got hands-on experience building and painting something that will impact younger students for years to come.
A project this special takes a village, and we want to extend a massive thank you to:
The Weber School District Foundation for their generous $750 donation to fund the project.
CTE Coordinator Rebecca Sagers and Principal Brenda Hart for their incredible support.
Our participating schools: Roy Jr. High, Sandridge Junior High, North Park Elementary, Valley View Elementary, and West Haven Elementary.
The Extra Mile: When a couple of libraries were left over, these resourceful students didn't let them go to waste! One was transformed into a much-needed food pantry for Riverdale Elementary, and another was purchased by a local teacher to bring a Little Library straight to their neighborhood.
As CTE Director Rod Belnap put it: "What a great application of service and using skills to do good in the world." We couldn’t agree more!










It was a true battle of the titans. The Rocky Mountain Grizzlies entered the game with a flawless 9-0 record, looking to complete a perfect season, while the Wahlquist Eagles soared in with an impressive 8-1 record, ready to challenge for the crown.
After seven innings of grit, teamwork, and high-level sportsmanship, the Rocky Mountain Grizzlies emerged victorious! 🥇🐻
A huge congratulations to the Grizzlies on their undefeated season and for bringing home the trophy! We also want to give a massive shout-out to the Wahlquist Eagles for a phenomenal season and a hard-fought championship game. Both teams represented our district with pride and excellence.










Students and families explored hands-on experiences, connected with industry professionals, and discovered the incredible opportunities available through Career & Technical Education in Weber School District.
Thanks to our teachers, students, vendors, and community partners for making this night such a success!










What a spectacular Thursday and Friday at Bonneville High School! Our student-athletes left it all on the track, and the results were nothing short of inspiring. From sprints to long jumps, we saw personal records (PRs) shattered across nearly every event as students pushed themselves to new heights to close out the season.
A huge congratulations to our overall team champions:
🏆 Mountain View Girls
🏆 North Ogden Boys
Training for track and field requires immense discipline, and we are so proud of the hard work shown by every athlete and coach this year.
A special thank you to:
Bonneville High Track & Field and our amazing volunteers for hosting such a seamless event.
The coaches, parents, and teachers who cheered from the stands and supported these students throughout the season. Your encouragement makes all the difference!
The sun was out, the spirits were high, and the future of Weber District athletics looks brighter than ever. Great job, everyone! 💙👏










These two dedicated historians have officially punched their tickets to the National History Day finals in Maryland this June! After reaching the state finals as 8th graders last year, Megan and Zaylee were determined to go all the way this time. They spent countless hours researching, building annotated bibliographies, and perfecting their projects—mostly on their own initiative.
Check out the incredible work they put in:
* Megan Pautz combined historical scholarship with artistic precision to create a detailed research exhibit, bringing a pivotal moment in history to life in 3D. 🎨🕵️♀️
* Zaylee Hazelbaker took on the role of director and historian, producing a compelling documentary that required expert scriptwriting and video editing. 🎬💻
Join us in wishing Megan and Zaylee the best of luck as they represent Weber School District in Washington, D.C.! ✈️





We are excited to share the results from the "Do the Write Thing" State Recognition Luncheon held on May 1st. It was a historic day for Weber School District!
A massive congratulations to Andre Ramos from Roy Junior High, who has been named Utah’s National Finalist and "Ambassador for Peace." Andre will represent our state in Washington D.C. this July, meeting with members of Congress and having his writing placed in the Library of Congress!
We are also incredibly proud of all the writers who were recognized:
🥈 Malachi Murrah (Roy Junior High) – National Runner-Up
🥈 Adele Noorda (Roy Junior High) – National Runner-Up
🥈 Harper Spencer (Roy Junior High) – State Finalist
🥈 Mayreen Pinto (Sand Ridge Junior High) – State Finalist
🥈 Tristen Penrod (Sand Ridge Junior High) – State Finalist
🥈 Brooklyn Mills (South Ogden Junior High) – State Finalist
Out of the entire state, these students rose to the top for their powerful essays on ending youth violence.
These students tackled the "Do the Write Thing" challenge by sharing personal stories and proposing real solutions to violence. To our winners and their teachers—Maria Georgiou, Dustin Flores, Amy Kendall, and Bethanne Lenhart—thank you for your courage and your vision.










Our talented high schoolers in the CTE Bicycle Repair class—from West Field, Roy, Bonneville, Weber, and Fremont—spent weeks restoring nearly 20 donated bikes. They replaced tires, adjusted brakes, and tuned up every detail to ensure these rides were safe and ready for their new owners.
The best part? Seeing our high schoolers personally deliver the bikes to elementary students across the district. Alongside the bikes, every child received a new helmet, a lock, and a safety lesson to get them started on the right foot!
Thanks to the generous support of the WSD Foundation, every bike was outfitted with new parts, and every child received a brand-new helmet, lock, and a lesson in bike safety.
We are so proud of our CTE students for using their technical skills to give back. It’s a great day to be in education when you see our community coming together like this!










Our students proved that they are the next generation of digital storytellers, pushing the boundaries in video production, photography, and graphic design. From jaw-dropping cinematography and emotional documentaries to intricate character designs and professional-grade photography, the level of work submitted was truly professional.
A huge congratulations to all our winners and runners-up! You make our district proud.
