History

Box Elder High School was built in 1894 at 18 S. 500 E. Brigham City, Utah. Since then, Box Elder Middle School has taken over that building. Over time there have been several additions and modifications to the school building. It moved to its present location, 380 S. 600 W., in 1961. The most recent renovation was started in 2007 and was finished and dedicated in 2010.

[5] Box Elder won the 4A state championships in 1989, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2005, and 2011. Box Elder wrestling was ranked 18th in the nation in 2011, completed an undefeated season, and broke the state record for most points scored in a state tournament (312 points).

Since women's softball began being played in Utah in 1990, Box Elder has won more games than any other team in the state.[ citation needed ] Coach Jim Fuller retired in 2010 as "the winningest high school softball coach in Utah, with a 423-114 career won loss record (a .788 winning percentage) and six state championships (his final was at Fremont High School)".

Rivalries

Box Elder High School has a rivalry with Bear River High School in nearby Garland. These schools, both located in the same school district, also overlap boundaries in the towns of Honeyville, and Bear River City, making the rivalry much more fierce among students from those towns. Competition and tensions often run to extreme levels in invitational games, meets, and matches.
