Public School - Weber High School

Title Public School - Weber High School
Image Captions Prior to 1926, students living elsewhere in Weber County had to pay $40 a year in tuition to attend Ogden High School. A $300,000 bond issue was approved by voters 733 to 480 to build a new high school. Weber County High School at 1100 Washington was built to accommodate the growing rural population of Ogden. Even though still under construction, classes where held at the school starting in the 1926-27 school year.
Description Ogden City was still evolving when the first school was established in 1850 with Charilla Abbott as the first teacher. The school system continued to grow with public and private institutions accepting students. A bond issue passed in 1890 allowing for new buildings, including the showplace school, Central. Ogden High School called the “best and most attractive school in the world” was opened on October 29, 1937 after a cost of $1.2 million. Ogden High School and others still stand as proof of the community’s commitment to education.
