Congratulations, Audrey!
🐾🐅 Melvin’s work never stops!
Yesterday, Melvin spotted some familiar faces at cross country practice and decided an official visit was in order. Needless to say, our runners were pretty happy to see their favorite four-legged friend! 🧡
Our cross country teams have been putting in the work all summer, and they’ve even been joined by a few Tiger alumni getting ready for their upcoming college seasons!
And because Tigers find a way to get the miles in no matter what… one of those alumni showed up ready to train while babysitting! So yes, yesterday’s practice included running, a stroller, a therapy dog, current Tigers, and former Tigers all getting their work in together.
It’s just cool to be a Tiger. 😎🐅
Around here, you can train for your college season, push a stroller, stop to pet Melvin, and still get your miles in.
Nothing can hold these Tigers back! 🏃♀️🏃♂️🐾🧡

📣🐅 Tigers in the Community!
Some of our High School cheerleaders (and even an alumni) joined the fun at Theresa’s Gingerbread House III’s First Annual Carnival today! 🎪🎨🍭
The girls spent the day painting faces, helping make cotton candy, and jumping in wherever an extra set of hands was needed!
Community involvement is an important part of the Tiger experience. Our cheer team, along with so many of our WL-S athletic teams, clubs, and organizations, loves finding ways to give back and be part of the great things happening throughout our community.
We’re always thankful for the invitation to help and proud of our students for representing WL-S so well! 🧡🖤

🐾 Exploring Future Careers! 🩺
Freshman Mason Wallace recently attended the Vet for a Day program at The Ohio State University, where he had the opportunity to explore the field of veterinary medicine through hands-on learning experiences.
Throughout the day, Mason worked alongside professionals, learned more about animal care, and met with representatives from multiple colleges to gain insight into their veterinary programs, admission requirements, and educational pathways.
Experiences like these help our students connect classroom learning to future career opportunities, and we're proud to see Mason taking the initiative to explore his interests.
Way to represent West Liberty-Salem, Mason! 🐅

📸 Senior Banner Media Day is in the books.
Today, our senior athletes suited up for one of the most meaningful traditions of their high school careers, the photos that will soon hang proudly around our campus and stadium.
It's the beginning of a season they've been working toward for years, but it also marks the start of the final chapter. One last Friday night under the lights. One last match. One last race. One last time taking the field, stepping onto the court, standing on the sideline, or crossing the finish line as a Tiger.
Behind every banner are years of early mornings, late nights, practices, victories, setbacks, friendships, and unforgettable memories. Those moments have shaped who these seniors are, and now they have one final season to leave their mark.
We're ready to cheer a little louder, celebrate a little bigger, and soak in every moment right alongside you.
Let's make this last ride one to remember. 🐅
