West Jefferson High School

IMPORTANT MESSAGE!!

While the new track is being installed and the track material is setting up in the evenings, we need EVERYONE to stay off the track and football field. No one should have any reason to enter the fenced area. The anticipated day of completion is Monday, August 4th, depending on the weather.

Also, we have had community members using our facilities to walk their dogs. We have already had to clean dog poop off our brand-new football turf. This is unacceptable! Responsible pet owners would not allow their animals to defecate on school property where our kids are going to be playing. If anyone sees this happen, please report it to the district office immediately!

Thank you!

Here is Coach Higgs' workout for the week of July 14 - 17, 2025!

Tuesday's sprints will be in the Panther Den, Thursday's sprints will be in the parking lot!

With the installation of the new track, please stay on the outside of the fence surrounding the football field and track until at least Monday, August 4th (weather permitting.)

High school sports start in less than a month! If you haven't been doing summer workouts, now is the time to start!!

Here is Coach Higgs' schedule for the week of July 7-10, 2025!

After talking to the athletes at his workout tonight, Coach Higgs decided to cancel the workout tomorrow, July 3rd, since most of the kids said they would be with family or out of town.

Enjoy your holiday weekend and let's hit it hard on Monday, July 7!

No pre-registration required. Payment can be made on the @WJHS_253 Venmo account (please list participant's name in the description) or by paying cash or check on the day of the camp.
