OGDEN — Staff meetings at Ogden High School don’t always spark spontaneous standing ovations.

But that’s what happened Wednesday morning, when Heather Gerrard got an email saying the school had been granted authorization to be an International Baccalaureate school and offer IB diplomas.

“We’ve been working for the past two years at Ogden High, sending teachers to training, buying appropriate materials for the library and science lab and all the classrooms, developing curriculum for all the classes,” said Gerrard, the school’s International Baccalaureate coordinator. “When I got the message in the middle of the faculty meeting, I interrupted, and everybody jumped up. The faculty as a whole is very excited.”
