The Wasatch Front Football League (WFFL) has recognized a familiar face and a driving force behind its success for more than three decades. League President Dave Stireman presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to Kaysville Recreation Superintendent Kris High, honoring her extraordinary service, leadership, and dedication to youth football across northern Utah.

Stireman described High as “the backbone, heart, and soul of the Wasatch Front Football League,” noting that her commitment has shaped not only the organization but also the lives of thousands of young athletes. “Kris has given her time, heart, and talents to this league – not for recognition, but for the love of the game and the kids who play it,” Stireman said. “The impact of her efforts will ripple through this community for generations.”

Over her 30-year tenure, High has worn many hats – serving as Director, Executive Secretary, Vice President, Statistician, and parent volunteer. Through seasons of growth and change, she has led with humility, integrity and an open mind. Known for her collaborative spirit, she has consistently embraced new ideas and championed progress, always with the best interests of young athletes at heart. “Her office door, her inbox, and her heart have always been open,” Stireman said. “Kris listened, led, and inspired this league to new heights.”

Kaysville City Parks and Recreation Director Cole Stephens praised High’s commitment, calling the award a fitting tribute. “This honor perfectly represents who Kris is,” Stephens said. “Her efforts go beyond football – she embodies the community spirit behind all of our recreation programs.”

Reflecting on the recognition, High expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve. “It has been such an honor to be part of this program in every capacity,” she said. “Even though football is one of our smaller programs in terms of participation, it represents countless volunteer and family hours – and incredible community commitment.”

Kaysville Mayor Tami Tran also applauded High’s long-standing service. “Thirty years ago, I was teaching kids karate lessons and Kris was there – helping, organizing, and ensuring everything ran smoothly,” Tran said. “She has been a solid and wonderful presence in our recreation programs ever since.”
