Basketball FANS!!!! As we begin the 2023-24 HS basketball season, there are some key changes to our beloved game.
Need to Knows:
🏀--Team fouls will reset each quarter
🏀--No More 1-1 free throws
🏀--Bonus will always be 2 free throws
🏀--Bonus begins at 5 team fouls

On Friday, Nov. 17th we shared well wishes with one of our English teachers as she embarks on new adventures with the K-State Extension Office. Mrs. Roenne, as you begin a different chapter, Jefferson West High School administration, staff, and students want to thank you for being a role model and instructional leader filled with passion and a huge caring heart. Our students were fortunate to have their educational journey enhanced by a teacher of your caliber. Thank you for giving so much of yourself to help others become more. You will be missed but we wish you the best. #Once a Tiger always a Tiger!
