The WiHi Athletic Department is proud to announce our Vernon Powell Student-Athlete of the Month for November! 🏆 Each month, in partnership with VP Shoes, we recognize student-athletes who excel both in the classroom 📚 and in their sports. Winners receive a $30 gift certificate to VP Shoes 👟 as a reward for their dedication and Tribe Pride.
For November, we recognize Tavenon "Mouse" Outlaw! 🎉 Tavenon was a key reason our Varsity Football team triumphed over Queen Anne’s High School in the first round of playoffs, scoring an impressive three touchdowns. 🏈 He followed up with another playoff touchdown against Stephen Decatur in the second round. Tavenon exemplifies what it means to be a student-athlete, excelling both on the field and in the classroom. We are also excited to see what Mouse will achieve on the wrestling mat this winter! 🤼
While we did not have a November Female Student-Athlete of the Month due to the lack of girls’ sports competitions during the month, we look forward to resuming this recognition in December.
Congratulations, Mouse! 👏🎉 Your hard work and dedication make the Tribe proud!
Wicomico Teacher of the Year nominations closed last night, and we received 973 nominations this year! Thank you to everyone who took time to nominate an amazing teacher for this recognition.
