This week is STACKED, and we can’t wait to see our community cheering on the Black & Gold everywhere they go!
The action starts bright and early at 9:00 AM. Admission is $5 for adults and $4 for students.
Come out, make some noise, and give these ladies the energy they need to battle through a full slate of games. They love hearing their fans behind them every step of the way!
Friday night lights return to Pryor Field as the Yellowjackets gear up to take on the Eureka Tornadoes. Kickoff is set for 7:00 PM, and we’re ready to see the stands glowing with Jacket Pride.
Tonight, though, is about more than football. We are sadly going to miss our Senior, Brandon Glear. As a community, we invite everyone to wear blue to the game in his honor. A donation table will be set up at the main entrance beginning at 6:00 PM, and any gift to help his family with funeral costs will be deeply appreciated. Before kickoff, we will pause for a brief moment of silence to send our thoughts and prayers to Brandon, his family, and friends.
Alongside honoring Brandon, it’s also a night to rally around our school and community:
Renaissance will be running concessions, with every purchase helping build a school culture where students thrive and teachers shine.
The Black & Gold Booster Club is hosting their annual Booster Drive—memberships are only $25, with a free gift for joining! Don’t miss out on discounted merchandise and new spirit items like Pom Poms and our NEW foam fingers.
So come early, grab a snack, join the Booster Club, pick up some spirit gear, and most importantly—let’s stand together as a community, honoring Brandon and cheering on our Jackets under the Friday night lights.
Mrs. Fischer and the FHS Select Singers took their voices to the Kansas State Fair! 🎶✨
“I love that my students get the chance to perform at the Kansas State Fair,” Mrs. Fischer shared. “It’s not only an opportunity to showcase their musical talents, but also a chance to explore the exhibits, enjoy the food, and soak in the fun of the fair. I can’t wait to see all the amazing things this talented group will accomplish this year!”
On Tuesday, September 9th, our 7th–12th grade students packed the theater for an incredible 1.5-hour presentation with Tony Hoffman—the world’s leading speaker on mental health, addiction, and recovery. From the moment he started talking, our Yellowjackets were hooked.
Tony opened up about his own story—battling mental health struggles, going down the road of addiction, serving time in prison, and then making the decision on May 17, 2007 to turn his life around. Since then, he’s been on a mission to inspire others, traveling 250+ days a year to share his journey, writing a book, and even co-founding pH Wellness, a rehab center in Southern California. One of his biggest victories? Fulfilling a dream he set while in prison by coaching Olympic BMX rider Brooke Crain at the 2016 Rio Games!
Our students asked some amazing, thoughtful questions—Tony said a few were ones he had never been asked before. His story was real, powerful, and full of hope, reminding all of us that the right choices, strong habits, and surrounding yourself with good people can completely change your future.
