In 2017, a controversial video emerged on social media of members of the cheerleader squad at Weber High School. This video showcased the members saying the words "serggin cuff," and using a video editing app to play the video in reverse. When played in reverse, this resulted in a racial slur. Following this incident, the cheerleaders were reported to have resigned from the squad, and have been reprimanded.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2017/10/23/weber-school-district-concludes-investigation-into-video-of-cheerleaders-chanting-racial-slur/|title=Update: Weber High students who recorded racist video resign from cheerleading squad|website=The Salt Lake Tribune|language=en-US|access-date=2018-12-28}}</ref>

Weber High School /ˈwiːbər/ is a Utah secondary school located in Pleasant View, Utah, about five miles north of Ogden. It serves the residents of Pleasant View, North Ogden, Harrisville, Huntsville, Eden, and Liberty. It is part of the Weber School District and includes grades 10–12.

The location of the original Weber High School was between 11th and 12th Street on the east side of Washington Boulevard in Ogden (the site of a current VASA Fitness gym). In 1926, Weber County voters approved a bond for a county high school by a vote of 733 to 480. Construction of the building began in 1926 and was completed in 1927. Educators held school in the building in the fall of 1926, although the school was still under construction.

In 1953-54 the school expanded with the addition of a new south wing.[3]

When the current campus opened in Pleasant View, the old building remained, until demolished in the mid-1980s. The current location of Weber High was established and opened in 1973 with an addition to the building in 1984. In the fall of 1994, the student population was split and half of the students went to the newly built Fremont High School.

Their primary rivals are the Silver Wolves of Fremont High School, due to the close proximity of the two schools and the splitting of Weber in 1994 to build Fremont.
