Weber school district considers boundary changes to combat overcrowding
History
The district's origins reach as far back as 1849, when Charilla Abbott became the first school teacher at Brown's Fort. During the next half century, the school district grew from that one-room log cabin into what it is today. In June 1905 the independent schools in Weber County outside of Ogden City limits were combined into the Weber County School District. Weber High was the first high school in the district, winning the $300,000 building in 1926 by a vote of 733 to 480. Enrollment has increased substantially with student counts of 6,235 in 1949, 19,234 students in 1969, 25,859 students in 1989, and 30,069 students in 2007.
