Our tiger xc boys team showed their grit and determination today. They competed in the biggest 1A regional on a tough course and didn't back down. We didn't have any state qualifiers today, but these boys have skills and character traits they have learned and displayed that will make them successful in life! Atticus ran with a bad cold and was 25th. Garrison got tripped up but persevered and finished 44th. Lucas pushed hard and had a good finish. He ended 62nd. Garrett ran hard and held off a runner in his finish. He finished 71st. Graduating are 2 seniors that have ran countless miles in practice and meets, have proven to themselves just how strong mentally and physically they are. Garrison and Garrett, thank you for your dedication and leadership!
We have a state qualifier! Kenzie qualified for next week's state race at Wamego on Saturday, November 1st at 12:20. Kenzie was 11th. Nora had a PR and was 29th. Angel ran a strong race and was 53rd. Addy ran stronger and had a great finish. She ended in 55th. The coaches are proud of this bunch of hard working girls. Their work ethic on and off the course is something that will last a lifetime!

Regional XC warming up this morning at Sabetha. Race schedule is 3A girls, 1A girls, 3A boys, 1A boys. #BeTigerStrong.
Last night the Marching Tigers displayed a show we hope to build on and create a school tradition from.
I am so proud of all our students the past few months. This show is something I have always wanted to put together but last night as we were playing our final chords and the fireworks started I was so overwhelmed with gratitude. I did something I thought I would never do, but I am so glad I did. The first two photos are what I saw from the directors podium.
This community showed up last night. They showed up to support Athletes(who continue to show up...and boys I want you to know that takes guts, keep showing up...keep working...keep going...don't quit). They showed up for our Youth(coaches that was awesome seeing you and your kids announcing themselves, public speaking is a seriously useful skill). And you showed up for our Senior Athletes...those Cross Country Runners...I couldn't and wouldn't want to do what they do every day...and they do it with a smile! These kids have given 4 years of blood, sweat, and tears representing us. And finally you showed up for Our Musicians. The number of "fans" that USD 108 has moves me to tears each and every week. Thank you for all your support and the continued encouragement you give to the kids.
If you see a Football boy this week tell them you are proud of them for showing up. Give them encouragement! If you see a Cross Country Runner this week offer them a snack! Preferably filled with Protein and Carbs! If you see a Senior thank them for representing Washington County. If you see a musician tell them what your favorite moment of the show was...or give them a song request. But more importantly if you see a Tiger Student tell them how proud you are to be from this community and that they are part of something bigger than just one person.
I would love to Pack the House next Thursday to show the students just how many people are supporting them. No matter what activity they choose. No matter what the score is. No matter what day of the week. And no matter what the calendar says. PS the band director will have candy for anyone who shows up in a costume!
Thank you again for all your support. Let's have one more Amazing Night and come out and Cheer on the Tigers
We have a bus load going to support cross country and then on to volleyball substate to take on Troy. #TigerStrong
Thank you everyone for all your support during the regular season. We ended the season on a very low note to a good Sylvan Lucas team 54-0. We have one more chance to get our first win against Goessel High School at home on the 31 of October at 6:00 pm.
Let's all pull together and vote for our very own Jesse Hoover to receive recognition in the Vype Basketball Preview! https://northcentralksvype.com/featured/vote-now-which-salina-area-girls-basketball-player-should-we-feature-presented-by-wsu-tech-poll-ends-11-1/
Thank you to all our Tiger fans that came early for the Parent's Night Ceremony and stayed after to enjoy the entertainment we prepared for you. Our first stunt of the night featured the Ruby Reds three seniors flying preps. Our Friday nights being spent with the boys of fall have come to a close. We are especially proud of the two seniors, and the coaches who lead this team and we look forward to cheering them on one last time this year on Thursday! See you there and, "Go Tigers!!" Also, a shout out to the boom squad for the booms and fireworks tonight! We have the BEST community! ❤️🖤🤍
Our Lady Tiger volleyball team was treated to a team meal on the eve of our substate appearance. We are lucky to have such great parents. Thank you, Goeckel family, for hosting.
A shout out to the Ruby Reds Tiger Fan of the Game from the Nov. 11th game: Michael LeDuc
The seniors will be picking another loud and proud fan to recognize tonight. A big thank you to Mindy's Boutique and FBLA Tiger Designs for providing items for his swag bag.
See you all at the game! Kick off is at 7:00.
JHVB celebrated the end of their VB season at the K-State Volleyball game last night. I think all the girls had a fun time!
Preschoolers learned the story of the Five Little Pumpkins this week. We then used engineering skills (and some grit!) to build gates out of clothespins and popsicle sticks that were stable enough to hold 5 pumpkins. Look at the concentration and pride on those little 🐯 faces!
The cheerleaders greeted and visited with students this morning.
Parents: Next week, WCHS Football will host either Gossel or Canton Galva on Thursday Oct. 31st for our Week 9 Bi-District game. This will be our final game of the season. This game will be played at 6:00pm NOT 7:00pm. Once schedules are finalized at the conclusion of this week's games, more information will be dispersed. If you have questions, feel free to reach out to Robert Smith.
Congrats to the Washington County FFA Alumni and Supporters being named the National Top Outstanding Alumni Chapter in the nation. Member Tim Zenger was named one of three Outstanding Members in the Nation. What an amazing honor!!

10th and interested 11th grade students attended the KACRAO College Fair at Valley Heights. This is an opportunity to see representatives from colleges/universities/community colleges from across the state and begin exploring options for Post-Secondary.
If you don't already have plans to attend the football game on Friday night at 7 PM you should definitely make the time. At 6:30 we will honor our seniors. The game will start at seven and instead of a traditional halftime show, the band will wait to perform until the end of the game. Here is a hint and a glimpse from tonight's practice. Please plan to stay after for an amazing performance highlighting just how fun band can be. Can you guess what the kids have in store for you?
