Upon taking the principalship at Weber High, Dr. Kachold set a goal for our school to consistently rank in the top 15% of all Utah schools by focusing on collaborative faculty efforts. Backed by recent data, Weber High has officially reached the top 12% statewide for the 2025-2026 school year, ranking 128th out of 983 schools. This milestone marks a steady multi-year climb from the top 22% in 2022-2023 to our current peak performance. This achievement belongs to our entire school community, driven by a shared mission to empower students through high expectations and meaningful learning experiences.
WARRIOR OF THE MONTH
Warrior of the Month is a special student recognition program at Weber High School that honors students who display outstanding character, effort, and a positive impact on the school community. Because each teacher selects only one student for the entire school year, this is a highly exclusive honor. Winners are celebrated regularly for maintaining a positive attitude and working hard in their classes. Each month, the honored Warrior, their parents, and the nominating teacher are invited to a breakfast awards ceremony to celebrate the student's achievements.
Congratulations to the following students:
Communications 2110 Navigates Trust
Students in the Communications 2110 class recently participated in a lively, hands-on trust and leadership exercise. Blindfolded team members had to navigate through the school hallways entirely guided by the vocal instructions of a single student leader. This engaging activity challenged students' verbal clarity and active listening skills, resulting in a memorable—and highly entertaining—lesson in effective teamwork.
Kellan Hadfield took 2nd place at the Utah Chess Association's Utah Open State Chess Tournament in the U1700 section on October 17th. This is the biggest chess event in the state of Utah. It is a non-scholastic event so he was competing against all top players, adults included. He won three out of four games and had one tie. That earned him 3.5 out of 4 points. His US Chess Federation rating increased from 1489 to 1585, which is a huge jump! Congratulations Kellan!
Weber High has 15 site level PLC teams and 4 teachers leading district teams. High functioning professional learning teams leads to improved students outcomes and collective teacher efficacy. Our teams prioritize student learning by having team goals aligned to the Weber High model of instruction (see graph on left.) Teams have transformed classroom learning by observing one another, analyzing student work and reflecting on teaching strategies. One particular team led by Leah Ward, which is comprised of Agriculture Science and Criminal Justice/Forensics teachers, has spent the first quarter diving into the research to implement best practices around providing learning objectives for students. This team has engaged in a learning walk in order to observe other teachers in action and has utilized site level instructional coaches to collect data on their use of learning objectives in the classroom. This team embodies the true commitment to continuous student growth and shared excellence.

Cycling League Mountain Biking

The Weber High School Mountain Bike Team showcased exceptional talent during the 2026 season, led by elite rider Sammie Bradley, who achieved a massive milestone by being selected for the USA Cycling Team Camp. Crucial leadership at the grueling Mantua course came from 5th-year veteran captain Zoe Markiewicz, alongside senior team captains Adelaid McMurray, Ellisyn Fidler, and Marley Speicher.

She showcased her hard work and dedication October 8th, when she took on Mountain Ridge in the round of 16.
A multi-year starter and program leader, Carter Payne put up dominant numbers in September with 867 passing yards, 226 rushing yards, and seven total touchdowns. Amassing 1,093 total yards in just one month, he continues to elevate his game and lead the team's offense at quarterback. The train is still rolling and he won't be slowing down any time soon!
Haylee Barker perfectly represents the team’s spirit through her relentless work ethic and resilience. Whether facing setbacks with a positive attitude or handling success with humility, she serves as a pillar of hard work and determination.
Carson Hill proved his exceptional toughness by making a fearless return just weeks after suffering a frightening injury against Roy. After sitting out only one week, he stepped back onto the field without missing a beat, contributing heavily across defense, offense, and special teams. In his first game back, Hill anchored the defense with 17 tackles while adding 11 receptions for 110 yards and 30 rushing yards on offense, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to leading his team to victory.

Weber High School’s popular Medical Forensics program is off to a strong start with seven full sections of students diving into their first unit on crime scene investigations. To wrap up their introductory weeks, students participated in a comprehensive mock crime scene lab. Applying classroom concepts to a real-world scenario, they documented, measured, sketched, and collected evidence before completing the professional paperwork required to officially "turn it into the evidence room." This engaging, hands-on activity allowed students to directly practice critical field skills while sparking immense enthusiasm for the upcoming school year.

Centennial Celebration
Former Homecoming Queens
Homecoming Halftime Presentation
Homecoming began as a college tradition in the early 1900s, most famously at the University of Missouri in 1911, when more than 10,000 alumni and fans answered the call to “come back home.” After World War II, the tradition spread to high schools across America, and in the fall of 1949, Weber High School crowned its very first Homecoming Queen from the graduating class of 1950.
Weber first opened its doors in 1926, making this our Centennial year, and every year since that first Homecoming, a new queen has become part of Warrior history. Over the past several months, we searched far and wide for Weber’s surviving Homecoming Queens, and we were thrilled and deeply honored to welcome so many of them back home to walk onto the field once again, relive a little of their magic, and remind us that while crowns may sparkle for one special night, a Weber Warrior shines for a lifetime! Queens from 1964 - 2016 were in attendance.
