March 4, 2026

Ogden High School is pleased to honor Colson Carson as our Student of the Month. Colson, the son of Pat and Kerry Carson,  is a student whose dedication, leadership, and strong work ethic make a lasting impact on our school community. His commitment to excellence in athletics, academics, service, and employment truly sets him apart as an outstanding representative of OHS.  Colson has built an impressive athletic career during his time at Ogden High School. In football, he has been a two-year participant, earning a varsity letter and receiving All-District Honorable Mention recognition. On the basketball court, Colson is a four-year letter winner and served as Co-Captain during his senior year. He is also a two-time recipient of the Coaches Award, an honor that reflects his leadership, determination, and team-first mindset. In baseball, Colson is a three-year letter winner and a two-time Coaches Award recipient. His individual accomplishments include All-County First Team Pitcher, Second Team All-Conference Pitcher, and Second Team All-District First Base. He was also named to the KMA Sports All-Junior Team and earned both the Slugger Award and Pitcher Award, highlighting his talent and versatility on the field.

Beyond his athletic success, Colson is a two-year member of the National Honor Society, demonstrating his dedication to academic achievement and strong character. His leadership development includes attending the WCAC Athletic Leadership Forum during his sophomore year, where he further strengthened the skills that have made him such a respected leader among his peers.

Colson’s commitment to service is evident in his involvement within the community. He is a member of Community United Methodist Church and volunteers his time coaching youth basketball and baseball alongside his father. He also serves as a volunteer umpire for youth baseball and has participated in Relay for Life, showing his willingness to give back and support important causes.

In addition to balancing academics and athletics, Colson maintains a strong work ethic through consistent employment. He has worked for Good Lawncare for the past year, dedicating 40 hours per week during the summer and continuing part-time work throughout the fall and spring. He has also worked as a USSSA umpire for the past two years, averaging 24 hours per week during the summer. Managing these responsibilities alongside his school and athletic commitments speaks volumes about his discipline, time management, and character.

Colson’s leadership, perseverance, and humility make him someone others naturally respect and look up to. He represents Ogden High School with pride in everything he does. We are proud to recognize Colson Carson as our Student of the Month. Congratulations, Colson!
