Wellington ISD

Here is the Wellington Athletics Weekly Schedule! 🚀🏈⛹🏼‍♀️🚀

Out of the top 100 runners in Class 2A, our very own sophomore Taytum Kane finished 21st in the state at the UIL Cross Country Championships! 🏁🔥 What a season, Taytum — your hard work, grit, and heart made us all proud. ❤️🤍 A big thank you to Coach Nicks and Coach K for their leadership and commitment to our Lady Firecrackers and Lady Rockets this year. 🚀🏃🏼‍♀️🧨

Lady Rocket basketball scrimmages at home to open the season TODAY against Valley at 1pm. Here's your first chance to check out our JV and Varsity Lady Rockets. 🚀⛹🏼‍♀️

Our very own Lady Rocket takes the state course in Round Rock today at 10:55 AM. Run, Taytum, run! We’re behind you every step! 🚀🏃🏼‍♀️❤️

English I classes took their annual trip down to the basement of WHS in conjunction with reading Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado.” English 1 teachers are Karoline Ashmore and Czrena Watts. 🚀

We proudly sent Taytum Kane off today as she heads to compete at the State Cross Country Meet in Round Rock this Saturday at 10:55 a.m. 🏃‍♀️✨ Taytum, your hard work, grit, and determination inspire us all. Your school and your community are cheering you on — every stride, every step, every mile. Go get it, Taytum! 🚀❤️

Today, our Student Council encouraged staff and students to “Scare Away Drugs…” 🎃🚫💊 We joined the fun with a theme inspired by a phrase our high schoolers have been using lately. If you’ve heard “67” around your house, here’s what it means: 6 = “Forget it.” 7 = “It doesn’t matter / Drop it.” So when kids say “67,” they’re basically saying “Eh, let it go.” We used it today to remind students to drop the pressure, the peer influence, and anything that leads to unhealthy choices. ❤️ We love our high school students — their creativity, humor, and the culture they help build at WHS. We’ll always meet them where they are and encourage them to choose the good, choose each other, and choose to stay drug free. Check out our amazing staff showing 6️⃣ and 7️⃣ in full spirit today! 🚀 #RedRibbonWeek #SkyrocketStrong #67
