West Jefferson High School

Several posts and emails have already gone out, but we are needing the last group of students to put in their course requests by the end of the day on Wednesday, August 2nd. After that, the students that didn't request classes will have random classes assigned to them. Mr. Gemar is available to help with questions, but please check the posts/emails first to see if your question has already been answered. 208-663-6042 or davidgemar@wjsd.org. STUDENTS, PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD TO YOUR FRIENDS & CLASSMATES!

Good afternoon, Many questions have come about filling out Enrollment forms online and requesting classes for next year. Please join me for an information session on how to complete those tasks on Friday, July 28, at 10:00am, 2:00pm, or 6:00pm. Each session will start with the general information and then have a Q&A session for those participating. Have a great day!

Congratulations to our Track members who qualified for state and are on their way to Boise (Middleton) right now! Go get 'em Panthers!

Students who want to jump at the opportunity to become a part of the cheer team, come show your spirit for your West Jefferson Panthers during try-outs!

Recently, our students were given the opportunity to be recognized for their hard work not only in the classroom, but in the community as well! National Honor Society(NHS) currently has 30 students who have pledged themselves to one or more of the pillars of NHS: Character, Leadership, Service and Scholarship. The NHS has been involved in outstanding acts of service and we should all take a little time to congratulate these fine students on their achievements! The group of students are advised by Mr. Gore and Mr. Packer. A few of this years NHS activities are listed below: The National Honor Society organized and ran a Blood Drive on 03/28/2023 and were able to get 30 units of blood. The NHS also raised over $2,000 for Adopt a Kid for Christmas program where students raised money then bought presents, and delivered presents to needy families. The National Honor Society in the past has cleaned up litter from the streets, gotten winter clothes for needy families, tutored students who were in need of academic help, and helped in humanitarian efforts.

There have been several changes this week on our Athletic Schedule. Please note that this is the most current information and we will try to post any changes if they happen.

Come show some support for these young men aspiring to be the next MR. West Jeff! Tickets can be purchased in advance from any of the participants.

Congratulations are in order for our FFA club! These wonderful students competed with exemplary showmanship and represented West Jefferson High School well, bringing home numerous awards! This group of individuals are the last to be advised by Mr. Bird, as he is retiring at the end of this school year. We are sad to see him go, but know that he leaves behind a great legacy and big shoes to fill! Congratulations again FFA students!!!

Recently, our students in the FCCLA club went to Boise for their competition and they all did so great! Please help us congratulate our students and their wonderful accomplishments! Way to go FCCLA!!
