Wildcats in Action Wildcats in Action

We are on the home stretch to Thanksgiving Break! This week was a bit of a slow week in terms of extracurricular activities.


Our boys and girls athletic programs have transitioned into basketball season! The girls kicked off the year with games, while the boys began practicing for the season!


Our Junior High girls took on Electra on Monday night and kicked off the year in a dominant fashion with both the 7th and 8th grade teams winning big! Our JV and Varsity had two games this week, one on Monday and one on Thursday. The JV and Varsity both split the pair of games, defeating Alvord on Monday and falling to a tough Holiday team on Thursday. The girls will be back in action this week along with the boys program!


JH One Act Play put on their public performance this past week in preparation for their competition this week!


The High School Band has transitioned into concert and sightreading season. Keep and eye out for our holiday public performance!

Wildcat Rising: Together We Rise

As we approach Thanksgiving break, I want to take a moment to reflect on the many things we have to be thankful for at Archer City Junior High/High School. We are blessed with incredible students, dedicated teachers and staff, supportive families, and a community that takes tremendous pride in being Wildcats.


Throughout this school year, we have celebrated successes, faced challenges, and continued working toward our goal of making Archer City one of the premier school districts in Texas. While there is certainly a lot to be proud of, being thankful for where we are doesn't mean we stop working toward where we want to be.


One area where we continue to see opportunities for growth is in our students' ability to stay focused academically, complete assignments on time, and take ownership of their learning. We have some incredibly capable students who, at times, allow missing assignments, incomplete work, or a lack of urgency to stand in the way of their academic success. Our expectation is not perfection, but it is effort, accountability, and a commitment to finishing what we start.


As a campus, we are continuing to look for ways to provide additional support while also reinforcing the importance of personal responsibility. We want every student to understand that completing assignments and meeting deadlines are not simply school requirements—they are life skills that will follow them into college, careers, and adulthood.


As we head into this season of Thanksgiving, I encourage our students to take pride in their accomplishments, recognize the opportunities they have been given, and recommit themselves to making the most of those opportunities. We have so much to be thankful for, but we also have so much more to accomplish. Let's continue holding high expectations, supporting one another, and finding ways to win each day.
