The Box Elder High School community participated in several diverse activities on November 10, 2026, ranging from community blood drives to mental health awareness initiatives. These efforts highlight student involvement in both service and competitive extracurricular programs.
The Box Elder High School Cheer Team partnered with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive on October 29 in the school's small gym. The event included students, staff, and community members, with some volunteers assisting with check-in, advertising, and snack distribution. Senior cheerleader Lila Burggraf noted that the event provides an opportunity for people to do something new and give back to the community.
The Help Squad, a student club at Box Elder High School, continues to promote suicide awareness and peer-to-peer mental health support. The program, which was rebranded from Hope Squad due to licensing costs, focuses on teaching members to recognize red flags and bring in adult help. Club adviser Kimberly Maw stated that the goal is to ensure students know support is available, noting that members undergo training through role-playing to recognize signs of suicide.
In athletics, Golden Spike Rugby is seeking sanctioning from the Utah High School Activities Association (UHSAA). The team includes female athletes from both Box Elder High and Bear River High. Coach Amanda Morris noted that rugby sevens is one of two options being considered by the UHSAA for fall sports, alongside flag football. Sanctioning would provide the team with improved support for transportation and equipment.
Other recent activities at the school included HOSA hosting a haunted house on October 17 to raise money for the NMDP foundation. The event, which has been a tradition for nine years, involved 15 different clubs in the fundraising efforts.
