With Facebook down this morning, we weren't able to send our well wishes to the Rocket Regiment as they competed in the UIL Concert and Sight Reading Contest today in Panhandle. Not only did the band due a fantastic job marching 15th Street to send our Lady Rockets off last week, but they also put in extra practices to prepare for today. While the results are not what we wanted, we especially want to thank our four seniors for their leadership to the band since they have been in 8th grade. Thanks Kali Brewer, Cece Granadoz, Cortlyn McKinley and Addy Mock. Thanks also to Mr. Mixon and Mrs. Warrick for all you do for our bands. We are always proud of you Rocket Regiment!
The brother/sister duo of Nixon and Oakley Folk were Borger A Division Small School Champions today. They defeated Dalhart, Spearman, Booker and McLean today in Mixed Doubles. Congratulations! 🚀🎾🥇🚀

What an amazing send off we had in town for the Lady Skyrockets. We are working to put a video together to showcase this morning. We would like to express a huge thanks to our friends in Childress ISD for escorting our Lady Rockets through Childress. Here are a few pictures from the event, but check out the video from Childress in the comments. Thanks to Nora Avalos Kelley, a WHS Class of 2002 graduate and current Bobcat Booster Club President for helping organize the escort through Childress. Skyrocket Nation would also like to wish the Childress Bobcats the best of luck as they compete in the 3A Region 1 Tournament at the Tiger Pit at Frenship High School this weekend. Win the region Bobcats and win state Lady Rockets!
First and foremost, our thoughts and prayers go out to all those impacted by the wildfires this week.
The send off for our Lady Rockets is still on for 8:45am. Since the wind will prevent any drones from flying, please text any video footage from today's send off to Jermaine Cantu at 806-336-8616 or email to jermaine.cantu@wellisd.net so we can attempt to capture memories from the send off by putting a video together. Also if you are participating in the send off with transportation, please line up on Haskell Street as the send off will encompass all of 15th Street.
The WHS Gym is open for our friends in the Wheeler and Canadian communities.
Reminder, we will have a history making state send off for our Lady Rocket basketball team tomorrow morning (Wednesday, February 28th) at 8:45am. If you are planning on having anything with wheels in the send off tomorrow, please contact Renee Hanna at (806) 930-8975 so we can have a good plan in place. Let's send our girls off in style!
The well wishes for our Lady Rockets keep pouring in from across the state and beyond. Here's one from Las Vegas, Nevada from Class of 2017 graduate, Lorena Granados!
WHS freshman, Bailey Page, placed 3rd with her heavy weight Limousine steer at the San Antonio Stock Show. Congratulations to Bailey on her sale making steer! 🚀🥉🚀
