My father, Milo Paul Ross, graduated from Weber County High School 25 May 1961. A bond was passed in 1926 to build a county high school and construction began that same year and completed the next. The photo above is from 1927. The high school had an addition in 1953-1954. Weber County High School was located on the east side of Washington Boulevard between 11th and 12th Street. Weber County built a new high school in Pleasant View in 1972. The old building was abandoned and apparently tore down in the 1980s. Attached is the sketch that came with Dad’s Diploma.

I will not be sharing his transcript as the Diploma indicates is/was attached. As Dad mentioned, he did not get to take any electives since he was retaking classes. GPA of 2.00, 359 of a class of 415. The newspaper indicated there were 416.

I am also attaching a copy of Dad’s Certificate of Graduation from Wahlquist Junior High School.

Both Diplomas include the name of T. H. Bell, which caught my attention. Terrel Howard Bell (1921 – 1996) might ring familiar to some as he was an Education Secretary under President Reagan. Terrel graduated from Lava Hot Springs in 1940, from Albion State Normal College in 1946, and Superintendent of the Weber County School District from 1958 to 1962. Which is why his name shows on both of these Diplomas.
