Celebrating a Monumental Achievement for a West Jefferson Legend! 🌟
As our high school wrestling season gets underway, we want to share a fantastic video honoring one of our very best!
Long-time science teacher and coach, Mark Sawicki, was inducted into the Idaho Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in May 2025! We just received the full 15-minute video of his introduction and acceptance speech and couldn't wait to share it with everyone.
We are incredibly proud to call "Coach Sawicki" one of our own. Thank you for choosing to spend your career at West Jefferson and for enhancing the lives of so many people in our community.
A huge thank you also goes out to his amazing wife, Val, for her years of dedication to Terreton Elementary and to the Panther Wrestling community. What a dynamic duo!
