Weber School District -

The gym at Roy High School was once again filled with energy, cheers, and school pride as students from across the district came together for this year’s Weber School District Unified High School Basketball Tournament.
This Special Olympics Unified Sports event brought athletes with and without intellectual disabilities onto the same teams, creating an atmosphere built on teamwork, encouragement, and inclusion. Every game showcased not just athletic skill, but genuine connection, sportsmanship, and joy.

Students from every high school in the district participated, making the tournament a true district-wide celebration. From big baskets to high-fives and sideline cheers, the focus was clear: belonging matters.

This meaningful event was proudly sponsored by the Weber School District Foundation in partnership with Special Olympics, whose continued support helps make inclusive opportunities like this possible for students across Weber School District.

Thank you to the athletes, peer partners, coaches, staff, and fans who made this year’s tournament another unforgettable experience.

Congratulations to the Wahlquist Eagles! The 2026 District Championship was one for the books! Our Wahlquist Eagles finished their incredible season with a perfect record after a hard-fought battle against the T.H. Bell Minutemen.
The game was a offensive battle early on, with multiple lead changes keeping fans on the edge of their seats throughout the first half. However, the Eagles found their rhythm in the fourth quarter, pulling away to secure a 55-41 victory.

A huge shoutout to the T.H. Bell Minutemen for an outstanding season. After a "nail-biter" win against Orion to qualify for the finals, they played with immense heart until the final buzzer. We are so proud of the sportsmanship and talent displayed by both Weber School District teams!

What a spectacular night at Weber High School! Our community came together to celebrate the Chinese New Year! It was so inspiring to see the progression of our Dual Language Immersion students, featuring incredible performances and cultural activities from the students at Bates Elementary, North Ogden Junior High, and Weber High.

From beautiful traditional dances and songs to hands-on cultural stations in the commons, our students truly brought their language skills to life. We are so proud of these students for their dedication to learning a second language and embracing global cultures!

From First Rehearsal to Standing Ovation in Just 24 Hours! What does dedication look like in Weber School District? It looks like our Honor Orchestra students mastering a complex concert program in just five rehearsals! Even more impressive, these students met their guest conductors for the first time only 24 hours before the final performance on January 30th.

Despite the short timeline, the "best of the best" musicians from our junior highs and high schools rose to the occasion. Guided by the expertise of guest conductors Angela Harman and Brent Smith, they performed pieces like "Impact" and "Blue Rythmico" with stunning precision. This achievement highlights not only the students' talent but the rigorous preparation provided by our dedicated music staff across the district.

The energy at Fremont High School on February 2nd was absolutely UNREAL for our Unified Basketball game! Team Blue and Team White left it all on the court, and having the one and only Utah Jazz Bear there to handle the tip-off took the hype to a whole new level!

The air at Roy High School was filled with magic, laughter, and incredible imagination! We held our annual Weber School District Storytelling Festival, where over 45 talented students took the stage to share stories they’ve worked so hard to refine. From original tales to classic favorites, these young orators captivated an audience of parents and staff members. Karl Behrling shared a story and some great advice to the students. Congratulations to all our participants! Stay tuned to see which of these amazing storytellers will represent Weber School District at the Weber State University Storytelling Festival this March!

Weber School District high schools officially welcomed the incoming freshman class for a tour of the campuses they will be attending. 9th graders from across the district visited Fremont, West Field, Weber, Bonneville, and Roy High Schools to familiarize themselves with campus life. These tours provide a vital opportunity for them to explore elective pathways, meet faculty, and ease the transition into their secondary education.

What an inspiring evening of music and community! Roy High School played host to the Weber School District SATB Honor Choir, bringing together the finest vocalists from Bonneville, Fremont, Roy, Weber, and Westfield High Schools. The concert began with a beautiful showcase of our high school ladies' ensembles, whose performances set a stunning tone for the night. Following those sets, the combined SATB Honor Choir took the stage under the incredible leadership of guest director Dr. Cory Evans from Utah State University. A huge thank you to Dr. Evans for guiding our students through such a powerful repertoire!

West Field High School hosted its annual "Night to Shine" basketball game, featuring students from the Life Skills program. The event served as a powerful display of inclusion and district-wide support. The athletes were coached by the West Field Boys and Girls basketball programs, fostering a unique environment of peer mentorship. The "Longhorn" student section was out in full force, providing a high-energy atmosphere for the players.

Join us in celebrating two incredible Weber High students who just crushed the Fall Qualifier for the 2026 Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) U.S. National Championship!
Competing against high schools, colleges, and universities across the country, these Warriors proved they are among the best in the nation:
* 2nd Place: Jake Bullock
* 5th Place: Ames Malan
Huge shoutout to their teacher, Mr. Alan Rawlins, for his dedication to teaching real-world, career-ready skills that set our students apart. We are so proud of the academic rigor happening in our classrooms!

Two days. One incredible sound! Our Junior High and High School Honor Band students just wrapped up an intensive 2-day workshop and concert at Weber High School! It’s amazing what happens when you bring the best musicians from across our secondary schools. Under the baton of guest conductors — Dr. Bryant Smith, Associate Professor and Director of Bands at Utah Tech University, and Mikala Mortensen, Director of Bands at Vista Heights Middle School — these students proved that hard work and harmony go hand-in-hand.

When our students see a need in the community, they don't wait for an invitation to help—they take action. While Rocky Mountain Junior High and Mountain View Junior High are often competitors on the court, these two remarkable schools independently joined forces for a month of school spirit and service.

During a halftime presentation at last Friday's basketball game, the schools revealed they had raised a combined total of $21,257.81 for the Ogden Christmas Box House. This organization serves as an emergency shelter for children who have been removed from unsafe homes.

Investing in the future of education at Weber School District. We were proud to host student teachers from across the region for a comprehensive District Training Day! These aspiring educators come to us from multiple universities, and we are honored they chose WSD to begin their professional journeys.

From mastering "Strong Start" techniques to exploring digital learning and classroom management, these students are diving deep into what it takes to provide a world-class education. We aren’t just hosting student teachers; we are mentoring the future leaders of our classrooms.

Starting 2026 on a High Note!

We are bursting with pride as we ring in the New Year! This January 1st, three of our very own Weber School District band directors will be marching in the iconic Rose Parade® in Pasadena!

Congratulations to: Taylor Shinney (Orion Junior High) Matthew Kinney (Roy High School) Joseph Windsor (West Field High School)

They were selected to join the "Band Directors Marching Band," a group of over 300 directors from across North America. Under the theme "America’s band directors: We teach music. We teach life," they are representing the dedication it takes to mentor young musicians.

As Joseph Windsor shared, this is a beautiful way to show our students that learning and music continue long after you leave the classroom.

From festive performances and classroom celebrations to meaningful moments across our schools, December was full of joy and connection.

Winter Break for Weber School District is December 22 – January 4. We wish our students, families, and staff a safe, restful, and happy Winter Break. Enjoy the time together—we’ll see you in the new year!

Here's a look back at some of the special moments from December across our schools.

Please join us in celebrating our WAA Administrators of the Month! We are incredibly proud to recognize two leaders who embody the heart and excellence of Weber School District.

Jennifer Thomas, Principal at Riverdale Elementary: Jen is a powerhouse of instructional leadership. From her deep expertise in the "Science of Reading" to her famous catchphrase, “I have this awesome idea…!”, she inspires her staff to reach new heights. Her team describes her as a leader who "leads with heart" and makes every student feel welcomed and wanted.

Bryan Heward, Assistant Principal at West Field High School: Bryan is being hailed as a "rockstar" for his contagious energy and commitment to the West Field community. Whether he’s balancing student success with school policy or pioneering the new Citizenship Pilot program, Bryan’s "can-do" attitude is building a lasting Longhorn legacy. One colleague noted, "He talks to you like an equal... I am a better administrator for having worked with him."

Thank you, Jen and Bryan, for your dedication to our students, staff, and families

We're absolutely bursting with Royal Pride! 👑

We were thrilled to see so many aspiring educators gather at Innovation High School for the 2025 WSD Educators Rising Conference! Students from our Education and Training courses—including Teaching as a Profession, Aspiring Educators, and Principles of Educational Instruction—came together to learn directly from seasoned professionals.

Highlights of the conference included:
🥽 Future Tech: Students used Virtual Reality to see what the future of the classroom looks like.
🤝 Career Prep: WSD Human Resources gave a breakout session on exactly what the district is looking for in educators and how to crush those job interviews.
❤️ Community: Students participated in a service project to give back to our local community.

Back for its second year, the student-organized W.O.W. conference took over Weber State University!

Hundreds of 7th-grade girls from across the Weber School District gathered to explore future possibilities and learn from successful women in diverse career fields.

A huge thank you to this year's keynote speakersfor inspiring our students to dream big! Students then dove into specific career tracks to see what these jobs look like in the real world. They attended breakout sessions covering a wide spectrum of industries, including Business, Marketing, and Finance, as well as STEM fields like Computer Science, Engineering, and Medical careers. They even explored opportunities in Real Estate, Infrastructure, Entrepreneurship, and Education!

We are so grateful to the Weber High students, the Warrior Business Academy, CTE, and the incredible mentors who dedicated their time to empower the next generation of women in the workplace.

What a match! The energy at Fremont High School was off the charts for the Junior High Girls Volleyball District Championship! It was a battle of the titans (and Grizzlies!) as Rocky Mountain faced off against Orion.

With Orion taking the win during the regular season, the stakes were high. Both teams came out swinging, trading sets early on to tie it up 1-1. It was a total nail-biter, but the Rocky Mountain Grizzlies managed to pull ahead in two incredibly close final sets to claim the title with a 3-1 victory!

A huge shoutout to the Orion Titans for a hard-fought match and an incredible season. And a massive CONGRATULATIONS to the Rocky Mountain Grizzlies on the District Championship!

To the coaches, parents, and fans who brought the roar—thank you for making this a season to remember!
