West Jefferson High School

Congratulations to CJ Day, our Female Youth Open Western National Shooter of the Year! CJ said that when she picked up her first target bow three years ago, she never looked back. When she got her first bow, she looked around the shop at the posters on the wall of various companies' pro staff shooters, which at that time seemed larger than life. She promised herself that one day it would be her on one of those posters. She said she works hard every single day to make that dream come true. CJ currently shoots a PSE Archery Supra Focus with an Axcel Achieve Sight and Shrewd Scope, Hamskea Rest, T.R.U. Ball HBC Release, Beestinger Stabilizer, and Victory arrows.

West Jefferson's High School Automotive Class is in need of old vehicles. Mr. Hogge says he will take about anything that has an engine! If you have a title for it, that would be great, but he will take vehicles without titles as well. If you have something at your place that you no longer need and would like to get it out of your way, please consider donating it to our students. Please contact Mr. Hogge to let him know what you have. Thank you!
