America is turning 250
And the next chapter of that story belongs to our students. Davis School District is proud to host Voices of a Nation: Student Perspectives on 250 Years of America, a districtwide speaking event aligned with America 250 Utah. We are inviting students in every grade, from every school, to apply to deliver an original speech about America — its history, its meaning, or its future. This is more than a speaking event. It is an opportunity for students to reflect, lead, and share their voice with the community.
Students will submit a short, one-minute video introducing themselves and sharing their topic idea. The video does not need to be edited or produced — we simply want to hear their voice.
America isn’t just something we study in history class.
It’s something our students are shaping right now.
Encourage your student to take the mic, share their perspective and be part of this milestone celebration.
Applications are due March 18, 2026

DEEP
Attendance Challenge
Mental health and school attendance go hand in hand. Struggles like anxiety, depression, and lack of motivation can make it hard for students to show up and missing too many days can worsen these challenges. Students who miss 10% of the year (18+ days) are more likely to repeat a grade or drop out. Early support matters. Let's break the cycle by talking openly about mental health and helping students stay connected. Please contact us here at our school if your student is struggling with mental health, we can connect you to resources both here at school and within our community
Stand together against bullying, harrassment, and discrimination.
