This marks the very first year of soccer at WRJH — and what a way to start!
For our first game ever, our girls ROCKED the field with a 5–0 victory!! We couldn’t be more proud of their teamwork, determination, and school spirit.
This season, we’ve proudly joined forces with Justus-Tiawah Public Schools, partnering with their school to create one combined team. Together, we’re building something special!
This year, we’ll compete as the Wildcats for Justus 🐾 — and next year, we’ll switch things up and proudly play as the Zebras! 🦓

Students in Mrs. Simmonds’ class participated in interactive Sound Wave Stations to investigate how sound travels and behaves. Through hands-on activities, they explored key concepts including refraction, reflection, transmission, and absorption of sound waves.
These engaging stations allowed students to observe real-world examples, collaborate with classmates, and deepen their understanding of how sound moves through different materials and environments.

Students learned that stickball—often called “the little brother of war”—is one of the oldest team sports in North America. For many Southeastern tribes, including the Cherokee, the game was traditionally played to build strength, discipline, and teamwork, and it often carried spiritual and community significance. Today, stickball continues to be played as a way to honor tradition, promote wellness, and keep cultural practices alive.
Our guests also introduced students to blow darts, explaining how this tool was historically used for hunting small game and for skill practice. Students learned about the craftsmanship behind the blowgun, how air pressure propels the dart, and the importance of accuracy and patience. The demonstration emphasized safety, respect for tools, and how traditional knowledge was passed down through generations.
This experience gave our students more than a lesson in sports—it offered insight into the history, culture, and living traditions of Native peoples. We are grateful to our Cherokee Nation guests for sharing their time, knowledge, and heritage with our school community. Days like this help students better understand and appreciate the rich cultures that continue to shape our nation.
