West Frankfort Schools Athletic Department would like to thank Sam C. Mitchell and Associates for hosting our Redbird Scramble this year. Thank you so much for doing that. We had one of the best years for the scramble in a long time. They were able to raise over $42,000 dollars this year. After paying the FCCC for hosting the scramble our Athletic Trust Fund ended up with over $35,000 dollars being added to it this year. Thank you so much! I also want to give a special thank you to Matt Caraway, Lance Brown, Brandon Zanotti, Aarika Twist, and Megan Hill for doing a lot of the leg work! We also want to think all the golfers that came out and played. It was a hot day and we still hope you enjoyed it. Looking forward to next years scramble!!

Vacancy Notice. CJHS Assistant Baseball Coach
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the 2023-24 Principal of Central Junior High School. My name is Tara Sullivan and I am a lifelong member of the FCUSD 168 School District. I have been Assistant Principal at FCHS for the past 5 years. Prior to that I taught English there for 12 years. I even attended school here from K-12 ( Waaaay back in the 70s and 80s). I have three children who have all attended school in this District and we are all proud REDBIRDS!! I truly cherish the fact that I get to help create graduates from FCUSD 168.
I have some exciting things planned for CJHS this school year, including the re-introduction of PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention & Support), social-emotional growth initiatives, and student character development. I am looking forward to a great 2023-24 school year and shaping the future for the 7th and 8th graders of West Frankfort.
Please come and meet me and introduce yourself at our registration event on Wednesday, August 2nd and Thursday, August 3rd from 9am to 2pm in the CJHS cafeteria. I am so excited to help develop a positive learning environment for our students, parents and staff!
