The Utah High School Activities Association announced the finalized activities alignment for 2025-27 after the Board of Trustees met for the final time Thursday morning to wrap a bow on classification and region placement for its 160 member schools.

The six-classification format leads with Class 6A, the largest schools in the state. As expected, Region 1 remains Davis, Farmington, Layton, Syracuse and Weber in all sports. Only 17 schools will compete in 6A.

The consolidated regions in Class 5A first drafted one week ago have stuck and Region 5 pulls together the area’s schools of that size.

With West Field’s opening in Weber County heavily impacting Fremont’s population, Fremont has officially moved down to 5A. The Silverwolves say goodbye to a longstanding region rivalry with Weber but renew the same with Roy — and both enter in the same region as West Field.

“We wish Weber was in there but numbers just didn’t align, so that’s unfortunate. Have to draw the line somewhere,” Fremont athletic director Corey Melaney said. “But we’ll try to get them on the schedule in most sports — hopefully in all sports — and keep those rivalries going.

“It makes sense geographically and with our numbers dropping significantly … ultimately, I think it’s a good spot for us.”

Class 5A’s schools in southernmost Davis County — Bountiful, Viewmont and Woods Cross — will compete in a region with Alta, Brighton, Olympus and Skyline.

One key difference from last week’s draft to Thursday’s official alignment comes in Class 3A. The 17-school (non-football) classification was returned to three regions from a proposed two-region format. That gives Ben Lomond, Ogden, Morgan and Layton Christian substantial travel relief as Union and Providence Hall are now in a different region.

Class 3A’s football alignment, with only 13 schools, is in two regions with Union an outlier in 3A North where it already was; Juan Diego is back up to Class 4A.

The only sport-specific exemption where a Northern Utah school has one sport playing outside its assignment is Layton Christian boys basketball. That team will continue as an independent, which it began doing this school year.

Competition in the new alignment begins in August 2025. The UHSAA Board of Trustees aligns the state’s high school activities every two years in a multi-week process that includes requests from schools to move up or down classifications, and to be included in certain regions or aligned with certain schools. Alignments for football (118 schools) are considered separately from non-football activities (160 schools) when needed.
