MAY

Theatre had our Farewell Feast where the Productions class performed a final show and we recapped our year last week while celebrating our seniors, those who lettered, those who made the shows for next year, and those who made it to state this year!

Criminal Justice Class

We went on a field trip where we toured the Davis County Jail and the 2nd District Courthouse. It was a fun opportunity and the students decided the jail is a fun place to work and an awful place to live!

First Graduating Class of West Field High School.... Class of 2025!!

April

West Field Agriculture

The West Field Agriculture Department hosted a successful Plant and Soil Expo on April 16th. The event was a collaborative effort among all Plant Science and Greenhouse teachers in the district—Colten Smith, Hailey Bass, Courtney Henderson, Katelyn Bodily and Hailee Toone.

Each teacher leveraged their professional contacts to invite industry experts, who engaged students with presentations about their careers. The expo featured a comprehensive representation of the plant industry, including forestry, floriculture, wildland firefighting, and precision agriculture.

Students from each school rotated through the various stations, interacting with at least 10 different presenters. At the conclusion of the event, students completed a reflection to reinforce what they learned and gained from the experience.

Criminal Justice

And

Law Enforcement

Criminal Justice

We investigated a homicide! Students wrote affidavits, search warrants and police reports. In a later module about courts and trials, the students prosecuted (and defended) the case in court.

Law Enforcement

We had Weber 911 (Dispatch) come and speak to the class. They shared information about what it takes to become a dispatcher and we listened to dispatch calls so we could hear the difficulties that the job can have.

Police dogs visited Law Enforcement and showed us how they can locate drugs and bite bad guys, if reasonable and necessary, of course.

Health Science Classes

This past couple of weeks in Exercise Science and Sports medicine we learned about Therapeutic Modalities that are used in the medical field. We learned how and why they are supposed to work, along with when they are contraindicated for use.

In our Medical Anatomy and Physiology class (and Advanced) we were able to due a pig heart dissection via WSU Dissections.

March

AP Physics celebrated PI Day by eating an OREO cream pie made by Clayton and Semi-Circular Sour-Patch Watermelons brought by Mrs. Floyd (Pi is only half way around the circle. You have to wait until June 28th to eat circular treats!

Physics classes have spent a little time working on building some 3D designed and printed flashlights, that the students have learned how to do all of the wiring and soldering for as part of their electronics unit. They turned out great!

The Law Enforcement class just finished up a module about traffic investigations. We studied traffic accidents, traffic laws, and police traffic stops. The students braved a cold and windy day to perform traffic stops in the West Field parking lot with the assistance of our tremendous SRO, Deputy Maxfield. Students even got to use the police lights, sirens, and bullhorn!

The Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement classes were visited by Special Agent Burton and Flash. Flash is an electronic storage detection (ESD) K-9, or what I like to call an electronic sniffing dog (ESD). Flash demonstrated his skill in finding electronics for students. Flash helps investigators find critical digital evidence that helps solve crimes and puts criminals behind bars. A student or two may have even had their cell phones pickpocketed by Flash!

West Field High School FCCLA Shines at Regional Competition!

West Field High School’s FCCLA students showcased their talent and hard work at the FCCLA Region Competition in February, earning impressive awards and advancing to the State Competition at the end of March!

Zoey took 1st place in the region in the Baking and Pastry competition, demonstrating her exceptional skills and precision in the kitchen.

Cambree competed in Professional Presentation and earned a silver award for her outstanding speaking and presentation skills.

Maylen participated in Focus on Children, earning a silver award for her work in child development and education.

Allie competed in Early Childhood Education, earning a bronze award for her dedication to early learning and development.

We are incredibly proud of our students and their achievements! Their hard work and passion for leadership and career development have set them up for success at the State FCCLA Competition—good luck to all our competitors!

ASLHS NEWS:

On March 4, our ASLHS service project focused on giving back to the community. We made and donated 10 fleece blankets to the homeless shelter in Ogden. Students contributed fabric, worked together in teams of 2-3, and played vital roles in the creation process. The project was organized into different stations: cutting, tying, and packaging. After completing the blankets, students delivered them directly to the shelter, helping provide warmth and comfort to those in need. This collaborative effort brought our group together and made a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals in the community.

Our Spanish 4 students had a Tower Translation Race! Students built towers using Legos while also practicing their Spanish translation skills! The goal was to construct the tallest tower in a set amount of time. However, each step of the building process included a translation challenge. Before each new stage of building, students received a set of complex instructions in Spanish then they had to translate them before they could proceed. Once they completed the translation, they could continue building. The students had such fun competing with classmates in a hands-on way.

West Field's theatre team took 3rd overall sweepstakes at Bear River High last Friday for UHSAA region competition with Owen Button taking 1st, and Carson Coleman taking 2nd in pantomime!

We also learned that Jaide Manzanares made the top 10 in Utah High School Musical Theatre Awards for her light design for Something Rotten. AND, Blake Lofts was one of 51 students chosen as a top singer by CS Music for his performance in Something Rotten! Pretty great for competing against 60 schools!

We are doing incredible things here in theatre at West Field!

West Field Open House

On Tuesday, October 15th, West Field held an open house for the community and district. The building was open from 4-6:30 pm for people to walk through, talk with teachers and see the amazing building and what it has to offer. At 5 pm a ribbon cutting ceremony was held with speakers from the school board, superintendency, administration and student body. The highlight of the program was the branding of the hide by Superintendent Butters and Principal Martini. The brand was made and welded by our own Mr. Ray Smalley and his welding students.

Lunch with Student Government

West Field hosted the student government from Roy High and Fremont High. The students gathered together, shared lunch and toured the school. This was an awesome opportunity for the students to come together, share memories and discuss new traditions. The longhorns loved hosting the royals and silverwolves.

Welcome to West Field

Student leaders prepared for the arrival of the West Field student body by touring the school and viewing the facilities.

New Traditions

Homecoming week brought on the start of many new traditions. We introduced Francis and Winston, the spirit cows who select the fan of the game. It was also the start of our "Glow Up" - a tradition where we light up the longhorn and longhorn stadium in anticipation of the homecoming game. This year we used glow sticks. The seniors provided the burnt orange for the longhorn, while the juniors and sophomores circled up around the longhorn to help it pop. We are excited for all of our new traditions and are excited to continue building them throughout the year.

Go Longhorns!

Great things Happening in Physics

The AP Physics students have been working to understand the way that changes in velocity over increments of time are accelerations. They are using the new track and a series of different objects to analyze the consistency of accelerations through multiple trials. It's been pretty fun to watch the students develop the lab and decide on the procedures!

Little Longhorns

West Field's littlest longhorns are loving the activities and learning in school. What a cool opportunity for our Early Childhood Education students to learn how to run a daycare/preschool right on campus.
