If you see them out and about, please let them know they are appreciated beyond measure. MEGA TIGER ROAR!!!!
From eSport Head Coach Alan Dick...
We had 1 high school student and 9 middle school students qualify for nationals in 13 separate events. Camden Pfeifer finished his season with a 3rd place finish in Chess giving Jefferson West Esports their first national podium placement. Our MarioKart team (Ledger Brown, Abigail Downing, Cade Arnold, Caden Schuetz, and Easton Haid) finished their season with a 4th place finish. Leroy Staniec finished his tournament series ranked 7th in overall points standings. We also had multiple students that were able to advance to the quarter final rounds.
Overall it was a great season. The students held their own and represented Jefferson West well. We would all like to thank you for your support and encouragement throughout this first year.

Our teachers at Jefferson West High School contribute each and every day to the future of our society and community. They help shape the character and future of our students, which are invaluable lessons.

Mrs. Magill's anatomy students took some time to share with Freshman Biology their final dissection of the semester. This project wraps up a year-long journey that Anatomy students undertook in the intricate details in Anatomy and Physiology. Several of these students have chosen Anatomy due to the new CTE Health Science program. The Freshman students really enjoyed the upperclassman explaining what they were doing and it worked out great that the Freshman had just finished up frogs last week. YEAH!
