[edit] History

Ben Lomond High School gets its name from the nearby Mt. Ben Lomond which was named by Scottish settlers. The mountain resembled their own Ben Lomond in Scotland near Loch Lomond. This local cultural influence gave the school its theme, including bagpipers, scottie dog mascot, and students are known as "Friendly Fighting Scots". The School Hymn written by Richard Packham is sung to the tune of The Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond.

[edit] Bond

Residents of Ogden are currently trying to pass a bond to obtain money to rebuild/refurbish Ben Lomond as well as other Ogden city schools.
