The Weber Experience

Weber High School recently held its annual 9th grade student recruitment.  This annual event is known as “The Weber Experience” and it consists of approximately 40 different booths set up from all kinds of programs, classes, and clubs that are available for the incoming sophomores to be involved with. The students come from the three junior high schools in Weber High’s Cone, that being Orion Jr, North Ogden Jr, and Snowcrest Junior High.  The students are first directed into the auditorium where they are welcomed by Mr. Velden Wardle, the awesome WHS principal.  After that, the student body officers and counselors give them plenty of tips and advice on making good class choices at Weber High, and they perform some fun and interactive skits to get the students excited about attending Weber High.  After the presentation in the auditorium, the students are released out into “The Commons” to visit as many program and club areas as they can within an hour. Students get to interact with teachers and other students who are currently  in those classes, and pick up valuable information about the classes so they can prepare to register for their sophomore year.
