Exciting times at Davis School District with the adoption of the Core Knowledge Language Arts curriculum! Creekside Elementary's 3rd graders recently had a blast with a culminating activity on the Roman Empire. They dressed in period costumes, created sculptures, built Roman architectural models and even tasted a variety of olives. The highlight? Enjoying "Little Caesars" pizza! 🍕🏛️

The Davis Connect SBOs held a fundraiser to collect pantry donations to help out Northridge High School's Teen Center.
The officers have been using the Northridge High School's space to film their biweekly announcement videos while their building is under construction and to thank them and to do some good for kids in our community, they used their Fall Festival to collect items from a list of needs.
With a small student population, the Davis Connect officers were still able to collect 2 wagons full of items to add to the NHS pantry.


Today we celebrate National Special Education Day. We honor the dedication of our teachers, staff and students who make learning accessible for all.

Snow Horse Elementary and Sunburst Elementary have earned the prestigious Apple Distinguished School designation for the second time, for the 2024-2027 period.
This accomplishment places both schools among an exclusive group of only 889 schools across 37 countries worldwide to hold the title. Only three schools in Utah have earned this honor and all three schools are part of Davis School District.
The award is given to schools that demonstrate excellence in innovation, leadership and educational effectiveness through the integration of technology into the learning environment. Schools must show how they are using Apple products and resources to foster creativity, enhance student engagement and prepare students for success in a rapidly evolving world.
“The award is not based solely on how technology is utilized,” said Sunburst Elementary Principal Rachel Alberts. “A school must have a culture that embraces risk-taking, equitable access and engaging learning opportunities. This would not be possible without our highly skilled and dedicated teachers.”
Snow Horse Elementary Principal Jenne Talbot said, “Earning the Apple Distinguished School designation reflects the dedication, innovation, and teamwork of our entire community. This award highlights not only our commitment to integrating technology into learning but also the hard work our staff and students have put into building a forward-thinking environment where every child can thrive.”
The district is incredibly proud of the dedication of the staff, students and communities at Snow Horse Elementary and Sunburst Elementary. Earning the Apple Distinguished School designation for 2024-2027 is a testament to their commitment, effort and dedication to educational excellence.



Huge shoutout to the Phoenix Marching Band.
They recently competed at the Bands of America Regional Championships in St. George, alongside 30 bands from across the Western U.S. and made it to the finals!
Their boxing-themed show, "The Contender", was performed flawlessly, and they represented us with pride.
We couldn’t be prouder of their hard work and dedication.
Way to go, Phoenix!

South Davis Junior High’s food drive was a huge success.
The school’s Student Body Officers organized a month-long drive to benefit the Bountiful Food Pantry. The class that collected the most food won the grand prize—early release to attend the Fall Festival and free pizza. Miss Naegle’s 8th grade U.S. History class took first place.
The festival featured games, trivia, a prize wheel, a photo booth and plenty of pizza and donuts.

Congratulations to Jessica Holtry, an inspiring educator from Northridge High School, who has been recognized as KUTV 2 News' Teacher of the Month. This award not only celebrates her incredible contributions to the Davis School District but also comes with a well-deserved cash prize.
Holtry has dedicated the past 11 years of her career to Northridge High, where she teaches AP Chemistry, AP Environmental Science, Concurrent Enrollment Chem 1010, General Chemistry, and a Peer Leadership class. Her influence extends far beyond the classroom, as she nurtures both academic growth and personal development in her students.
Holtry reflects on the joy of watching her students grow: “The answer always comes back to the joy of watching students grow and develop," Holtry said. "There’s something incredibly fulfilling about seeing them discover their potential and take steps to embrace it more fully. It’s a privilege to foster curiosity and a love for learning, not just for them, but for myself as well—I learn alongside my students every day.”
Her commitment to education stems from a belief in its transformative power. For Holtry, teaching isn’t just a job; it’s a mission to give back to her community and contribute to something greater.
Holtry draws her inspiration from the resilience and growth she witnesses in her students: “It is truly inspiring to be part of someone’s life journey during what is, for many, a critical and formative time. As a teacher, I have the privilege of creating opportunities and broadening horizons for my students.”
Whether it's helping a student complete credit recovery, navigate personal challenges, or overcome setbacks, Holtry finds fulfillment in guiding students through life’s milestones.

Happy National Education Support Professionals Day!
Today, we celebrate the amazing Education Support Professionals in Davis School District. From the classroom to the bus, your hard work and dedication make a real difference every day. We’re so grateful to have you as part of our district community.

Students guiding students.
Two buses packed with Syracuse Junior High seventh graders recently arrived at the Catalyst Center. While they weren’t there to sample the world-class cuisine at the café, they were there to explore the exciting course options available to them.
The Catalyst Center takes pride in preparing students for the “real world” by allowing them to manage their own projects. Instead of traditional teacher-led instruction, current Catalyst students gave the junior high visitors a hands-on introduction to potential career paths.
Seventh graders had the chance to explore fields like broadcasting, audio engineering, graphic design, game development, business, construction and cybersecurity. Each CCA student selected two career fields that piqued their interest and attended classes to see if they could envision themselves in those roles.
“A lot of kids graduate high school with the expectation to go to college, and that’s not always what they want to do,” Student Success Specialist Brooke Henderson said. “We want to expose kids in junior high to different options so they can know what’s out there.”
The Catalyst Center is now enrolling for the Spring 2025 semester. Visit their website for more details!
