The Husky Hustle is an annual fundraiser held by Holbrook involving staff, students, family and the community to help promote healthy habits and raise money. The evening also included food, music, prizes and activities.
Bountiful City Mayor Kate Bradshaw joined in on the fun of the Husky Hustle running alongside students and families
Overall, the joy on students' faces as they crossed the finish line said it all. The electric energy of the event perfectly highlighted the school’s goal of coming together to support student learning, even if that meant running a few laps to raise money.
Congratulations to the Woods Cross High School girls volleyball team on winning the 5A state championship! An incredible accomplishment and a season worth celebrating. Way to compete, Wildcats!
Across Davis School District, students and teachers marked Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a tradition rooted in Mexican culture that honors loved ones who have passed away.
From classroom crafts and family photographs to thoughtfully created ofrendas filled with meaningful objects, students found ways to remember ancestors, celebrate their heritage and learn the stories behind this special tradition.
We are grateful for the teachers who make space for these experiences and for the families and students who share their traditions with their school communities. Every story, every memory and every tradition adds something meaningful to the places we learn and grow together.
Davis School District Unified Soccer teams had a memorable day at the State Tournament.
Bountiful High School's two teams both earned state championships in their respective divisions. Northridge High School brought home a championship and a runner-up finish, while Clearfield High School earned runner-up honors.
The day also included a Northridge student showcasing her soccer skills before the tournament and a Farmington High School Unified athlete, partner and School Resource Officer participating in the opening ceremonies torch run.
Congratulations to all our athletes, partners and coaches! We are proud to celebrate the talent, teamwork and inclusion that make Unified Sports special.
The Viewmont High School girls cross country team claimed the 5A state championship, while the boys team brought home second place overall! Congratulations to both teams on an incredible season and a finish worth celebrating. Way to represent!
Congratulations to Farmington High School's Ellie Dorius for taking first place individually at the 6A state girls cross country championship. Way to fly, Phoenix!
Northridge High School's Jeff Hazard took first place individually at the 5A state boys cross country championship with the fastest time in the state this year. Congratulations, Jeff, on an outstanding race and an incredible accomplishment. Way to represent the Knights!
Students enjoyed a special performance by Sambo Fogo, a Brazilian dance and music group, while celebrating the cultures and traditions represented across their school community.
With families connected to 13 countries and territories, Foxboro students also shared what heritage means to them — from family traditions and favorite foods to the languages they speak at home.
Every student brings a story worth celebrating. At Foxboro, those stories help build a stronger, more connected school community.
These students may stand out in the classroom, through activities or simply in the way they show up for others. What they have in common is the positive impact they make in the everyday moments that often happen behind the scenes — moments that help classmates feel welcome, supported and connected.
Congratulations to our October honorees! Thank you for helping make your schools stronger places to learn and belong.
Davis School District recently welcomed education leaders participating in The School Superintendents Association Innovation for Transformation Consortium for a closer look at innovative programs, instructional practices and leadership approaches in our schools.
The visit included conversations with district and school leaders, a tour of Farmington High School, a student and teacher panel at the Davis Catalyst Center and classroom visits at Sunburst Elementary. Throughout the day, visiting educators asked questions and exchanged ideas with the people who make these programs possible.
As educators learn from one another, they can discover new ways to help students develop real-world skills, explore their interests and prepare for the future.
There’s a seat waiting for you!
Every day at school is a chance to learn, connect with classmates and be part of something bigger. The classroom is better with you in it, and we don’t want you to miss out.
Every day counts. You belong here.
Early literacy builds the foundation for academic achievement.

Sessions are designed for children ages 0–3, ages 3–5, kindergarten and first grade, and second and third grade. Sessions will be offered in English and Spanish, with interpretation available in additional languages.

When families have the tools to support literacy at home, they help children build skills that prepare them for future learning and success in school.
Our Davis Head Start preschoolers practiced safely crossing the road, using a pretend road on the playground. The preschoolers dressed up in costumes such as traffic lights, race cars, fire trucks, school buses, police cars and props.
We take all of our students’ safety seriously. Even if it’s as little as dressing up and playing Red Light, Green Light to learn the importance of crossing the street diligently.
She was kind, brave, courageous, humble, intelligent and empathetic towards others. She also loved to learn. Though she enjoyed going to school and participating in school events, she also enjoyed writing poetry and loved to read.
When they discovered the lump on Samantha’s pinky no one knew what it was. She was referred to three doctors: a pediatrician, a dermatologist and finally to an orthopedic hand surgeon to figure out it was a fatty lymphoma.
She underwent surgery in March 2025.
A month after the surgery, they discovered she had the rare type of cancer.
She was not predisposed to get it. It’s also not genetic. It just happened. Samantha fought long and hard and went into remission for four months. On the day of her last chemo in February 2026 (her day to ring the bell), they found another lump.
She fought bravely until the bitter end. Samantha passed away August 15, 2026.
Samantha loved her school and her teachers. This year would have been Samantha’s senior year at Northridge High School. She dreamed of receiving her diploma, attending Weber State University and becoming a hospice nurse.
Samantha’s journey is an inspiration to our students. Whether you already know your plan for after high school or still figuring it out, there are so many opportunities ahead of you. Seniors, think of Samantha as you continue through this year and carry her courage with you.

A love of reading can start long before a child walks into a kindergarten classroom.
Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, Davis Education Foundation helps children from birth to age 5 receive a free, age-appropriate book mailed directly to their home every month.
Every book creates another opportunity to explore new ideas, build language skills and share a story with someone they love. These early experiences help children build a foundation for learning before they enter kindergarten.
Families can enroll their young readers, and community members can help put more books into little hands through donations.
Learn how to enroll a child or donate to help fund books at https://www.daviseducationfoundation.org/page/impact-early-literacy
Together, we can help more Davis County children build a strong foundation for learning, one book at a time.
