North Layton does not have a football, baseball, or soccer team. 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, Northridge High School or Clearfield High School and may participate in the aforementioned sports, but still attend classes in the North Layton Jr. High buildings

[edit] Extra-Curricular

The school has many extra-curricular activities that are not physical sports. These activities include Student Government, National Junior Honor Society, National Academic League, Science Olympiad, MESA, School Musicals, Advanced Choir, Jazz Band and Cheerleading

[edit] Renovations and Additions

In 1995 Portable classrooms were added to the west and front of the school to accommodate growing class sizes.

A new wing was added in the year 2000 adjacent to the Gymnasium.
