The UHSAA Board of Trustees met Thursday to finalize high school sports region realignments for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 school years. Thursday’s meeting was the fourth and final meeting regarding region realignments in the last month for the UHSAA BOT.
In last week’s meeting, there was discussion to shift 6A into two regions instead of three. That discussion was brought up again in Thursday’s meeting, but the BOT ultimately decided to keep 6A as three regions. The largest change to 6A was moving Cedar Valley and Westlake to Region 2, while moving Corner Canyon to Region 3. Making 6A a two-region classification in football only was also considered, but ultimately was not passed.
In 5A, the classification largely was kept the same as the earlier proposals, the only change was moving Orem from Region 6 to Region 7 in football. The change was to keep Orem near the other Utah County schools and not have to travel north to the Salt Lake County schools.
In 4A, Summit Academy asked to be moved up to 4A in all sports except football, which the BOT approved. Park City also asked to be moved into Region 10 for all sports, which was approved, except for football, which it is in Region 8.
The 3A classification was a large point of discussion in last week’s meeting, specifically regarding Cedar, which wants to move down to 3A. The BOT agreed to place 3A into two regions, but the 3A schools met together between last week’s meeting and Thursday’s meeting and came back with the three region proposal, which the BOT agreed to on Thursday.
Ultimately, Cedar was kept up at 4A in Region 9 for all sports except football, which it will move down to 3A and was placed in the 3A South region.
2A and 1A did not change from last week.
