If you or someone you know is struggling please encourage them to reach out to the hotline number. Resources are available in the counseling tab on the school website.

Rain or not, we hope to see everyone tonight!! Grab a poncho and come on out to cheer our YellowJackets on to victory. We will also be crowning our Homecoming King and Queen and announcing the winning parade float. Pre-buy tickets here: https://gofan.co/app/school/WV2669. If you absolutely cannot make it, please tune in here: https://tinyurl.com/WHSJACKETSLIVE. This is the only streaming option that supports your YellowJacket athletes.
Homecoming Details: Parade will be Thursday at 1:30 PM. Specific line up with times and locations will be sent out shortly. Homecoming court, class floats, and high school sports teams and groups will be in front of the school. Middle school and elementary teams and groups will be in the park. After the parade we will have the pep rally in the stadium. The parade route, which is slightly different due to the construction in town, is included and can also be found on our facebook page. Thank you everyone for your patience as we try and make the best decision for our students to be able to take part in these activities. We are hopeful that the weather for tomorrow continues to cooperate.
Due to the impending weather for this Friday, we are considering moving the Homecoming Parade and Pep Rally to THURSDAY. The final decision on this will be made tomorrow around 3:00 and will be based on what the weather looks like for both days. The parade will begin at 1:30 regardless of the day. The exact parade route will also be included in tomorrow's posting. I understand Thursday may cause issues for some, but we do not want the kids to miss out altogether. Hopefully this gives everyone time to plan for this possibility.
This week, the middle school staff started up the DASH Award, a weekly award that recognizes three middle school students who had an outstanding week. This week, middle school teachers nominated Rui He -6th grade, Derrick Clare - 7th grade, and Eli Houser - 8th grade.
Congratulations to these hardworking Yellow Jackets!
