A reminder to all staff, students, parents, and community members –
Monday, 6/30 through Sunday, 7/6 is Summer Moratorium per KSHSAA. There shall be NO school related athletic activities. During this time coaches (licensed teacher coaches and coach aides employed by member schools) are prohibited from engaging in any type of activity involving student athletes whether it be practice, training, weightlifting, conditioning, competition or travel. All Jefferson West USD 340 athletic facilities will be closed during this period to school personnel and students grades 7-12. If Jefferson West USD 340 athletic facilities also serve as non-school community recreation facilities, these facilities may remain open during the moratorium so long as no Jefferson West USD 340 teams are playing and no Jefferson West USD 340 coaches/coach aides are coaching the teams/individuals. During this one-week dead period, students may attend camps or competitions but may not do so with their school coaches. This moratorium does not impact fine arts or spirit activities.
If you have any questions, please contact the High School or District Office.

Our summer golf workouts are in full swing. Seven golfers from our group competed in the Topeka Junior Tournament on Monday. Jake Rowe had a particularly outstanding day today!
After practicing at the range, Jake joined several other golfers for a round, where he successfully scored his first hole-in-one, putting him one stroke ahead of Coach Lawhorn.
Way to go, Jake!
Jefferson West High School is accepting orders for the "Tiger Walk" to recognize alumni and supporters of the school. You can have your name inscribed on a brick and placed permanently on the Tiger Walk. The walk is in front of the main entrance of the High School. This project not only improves the appearance of our school building, but also improves drainage in that area. It's simple and here's how it works.
INDIVIDUALS: This is an opportunity to honor your children, grandchildren, friends, or loved ones no longer with us, by having their name inscribed on a brick permanently placed on the Tiger Walk. The cost is $25.00 for each inscribed brick.
CORPORATE SPONSORS: If you wish to become a corporate sponsor with your company's name place permanently on the Tiger Walk for public recognition of your support for Jefferson West High School, we suggest a $100.00 donation.
USD 340 Jefferson West reserves the right to refuse inscriptions deemed inappropriate.
The deadline to order is July 7, 2025. Use this link to place your order: https://forms.gle/F2YvcUvxFAJ6b8Xn7
