Central Davis no longer has football, baseball, or soccer teams. The Davis School District implemented a policy in the 1970s stating that no junior high or middle schools in the district are allowed to have football, soccer, or baseball teams due to the physical injury risk. Once students reach the 9th grade they are registered at Layton High School or Northridge High School and may participate in the aforementioned sports, but still attend classes in the Central Davis Jr. High buildings.
[edit] Extra-Curricular
The school has many extra-curricular activities that are not physical sports. These activities include Mock Trial, National Academic League, MESA, and the National Geographic World Championship.
[edit] Renovations and Additions
Central Davis Jr High's middle school campus has gone through many renovations and add-ons over the past twenty years. It began with the 9th grade class of 1991 building what is now called the New Addition as a class gift to the school. The New Addition added nine classrooms, a cafeteria, and a common room.
The second add-on to Central's campus was the armory. In 1992, The Utah National Guard gave up possession of a weapons storage and office facility right next to Central Davis's campus. The Guard had already allowed the school use of classroom and gymnasium space in this building for years previously. The school district gladly accepted the building.
The third addition to the campus was completed in 2002. With the help of Layton City funding, Davis School District completed the largest school gymnasium in Davis County. Costing over $3 million, the gym is now used for both boys and girls gym classes and city basketball leagues.
