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
In the 2001 wrestling season the Longhorn boys wrestling were both Davis District Champions and Northend champions. Led by Coach Tim Porter.
