Parents and Guardians,
This week you will find a consent form with a copy of an end of year student survey. Please sign this permission form if you want your child to participate & view the survey. It will be used so we can plan for next school year to be better for students!
At this time, the JWHS SADD club is conducting a training and educational event. Please do not be alarmed if you see emergency vehicles in the area of the Middle school and High school or if you see any posts on social media. There is no actual emergency at the high school, it is a simulation to help students make better choices.
May 1 is National Principal Day. We are thankful for our building leaders & their dedication to our students, staff and community. Thank you for all you do as a member of the Tiger Family. Please help us by thanking your principal and all our educators as we celebrate this week.

The Big 7 League and Mid-East League Seek Merger
Administration from the Big 7 and Mid-East Leagues have met and are communicating in regard to a potential merger of these historically successful high school conferences. School representatives seek the merger to improve scheduling logistics, increase academic and extracurricular opportunities, and further elevate the reputations these two tremendous leagues already possess.
The Mid-East League, formed in 1948, currently consists of Riley County, Rock Creek, Rossville, Silver Lake, St. Marys, and Wabaunsee, with Rock Creek departing to join the NCKL at the end of the 2023-2024 school year.
The Big 7, formed in 1926, currently consists of Hiawatha, Holton, Jefferson West, Nemaha Central, Perry-Lecompton, Riverside, Royal Valley, and Sabetha with Riverside leaving at the end of the 2023-2024 school year.
The two leagues will continue to meet independently and collaboratively to work towards a potential merger with the possibility of competition to begin during the 2024-2025 school year.
