Organized annually to highlight our outstanding DECA and FBLA programs, this high-energy event gives students a real taste of real-world business competition—giving our high schoolers a true competitive edge! That’s the #WSDAdvantage in action: hands-on learning opportunities that prepare our students for college, careers, and beyond!
A huge thank you to our guest judges from Weber State University's Sales program for taking the time to mentor, evaluate, and reward our rising leaders!









Balancing academics with elite competition takes immense discipline. Brothers Teague and Rhett McPherson recently demonstrated that work ethic by winning top honors at the International Miniature Bull Riding Association World Championships right here at the Golden Spike.
Facing over 150 international competitors, Teague (West Weber Elementary) and Rhett (Mt. View Junior High) each completed four successful rides to finish with the highest overall scores in their respective divisions. Teague took home the PeeWee Division title, while Rhett earned the Junior Division championship.
We take pride in fostering environments where students develop the confidence and determination to excel wherever their passions take them. That balance of strong academics and personal achievement is the #WSDAdvantage.




At South Ogden Junior High, Representative Hall met with Student Body Officers and sat in on History, Math, and Art classes. Over at Roosevelt Elementary, student ambassadors took her on a guided tour, highlighting their favorite school initiatives and engaging in an energetic Q&A session.
Giving our students direct access to state leaders is just one of the ways we build real-world learning opportunities right here in our neighborhood schools. That is the #WSDAdvantage!
Thank you, Representative Hall, for taking the time to connect with our future leaders and dedicated educators










Snowcrest Junior High hosted Sand Ridge Junior High for an action-packed softball game in the valley. Both teams brought incredible energy and sportsmanship from the first pitch to the final inning. Snowcrest took the win 22-12, but both teams gave our community a fantastic game to watch.
Extracurricular activities and athletics give our students the chance to build confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills outside the classroom. That is the #WSDAdvantage!

West Haven Elementary created a breathtaking Field of Flags on their front lawn and hosted a respectful flag retirement ceremony. At Innovation High, students honored the bravery of first responders by taking on a dedicated remembrance stair climb. Rocky Mountain Junior High honored heroes through a flag art display and interviews, while T.H. Bell Junior High displayed a moving Flag of Honor bearing the names of every life lost on that tragic day.
Throughout the rest of our district, students engaged in art projects, moments of silence, and history lessons focused on unity, resilience, and patriotism. We are so proud of our students and staff for keeping these important memories alive with such reverence.







The school held a special flag retirement ceremony for two flags that had served West Haven Elementary. Principal Courtney Geisler taught students about the symbolism of the flag's colors and the respectful process of retiring a worn symbol of freedom. The ceremony was conducted with the help of the Utah Military Academy Honor Guard Team, Lieutenant Colonel Geisler, and Lieutenant Colonel Tipton.
Distinguished community guests included State Rep. Jake Sawyer, Mayor Rob Vanderwood, Board Member Jan Burrell, Assistant Supt. Dave Hales, and Supt. Gina Butters.
From strong community partnerships to rich character education, Weber School District offers opportunities that set students up for lifelong success. That is the #WSDAdvantage!










While the Mavericks secured the win, the real highlight was seeing our bleachers packed to support one of WSD’s newest junior high sports. Continually expanding athletic opportunities helps our students discover new passions, and that is the #WSDAdvantage.










On Friday, we were honored to welcome Representative Ryan Wilcox alongside WSD Board Member Kelly Larson and Assistant Director of Elementary Education Kirt Swalberg. Guided by Principal Heather Georgi, our guests toured classrooms to see our students in action. The highlight of the day? The priceless reactions from our students when Rep. Wilcox unveiled an incredible donation of playground gear!
Rep. Wilcox generously donated:
• 2 Heavy-duty soccer goals (a first for the school!) & 12 field cones
• 19 Soccer balls

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!
