Kentucky State Representative Matt Lockett honored Dean Geary (WJHS athletic trainer) at our board meeting last night. Mr. Geary was recognized for stepping in and saving a life at a recent game. In a moment that truly defined leadership, quick thinking and courage made all the difference.
Some wins go beyond the scoreboard—and this was the ultimate save. 👏🏽🏆

Good luck to our Archery Colts at the NASSP tournament this weekend!
In Ms. Hawley’s Physics class, students are currently studying circuits and the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
Yesterday they brought the lesson to life with a Van de Graaff generator, exploring how static electricity can transfer from person to person and learning why you sometimes get shocked when touching a light switch in the winter.
It was definitely a **shocking** lesson! ⚡️(See what we did there?)

Yesterday was a phenomenal day for our JAG students!
JAG President Freddy Sanchez and Vice President Jonathan Hammie met with Representative Adam Moore to discuss how JAG (Jobs for America’s Graduates) helps students discover their path after high school.
Freddy and Jonathan shared how JAG has impacted their lives and their future plans. Proud of them for representing our program so well and of Mr. Tyler who truly makes this curriculum meaningful to our students! 👏
