EVSC Foundation presented ten checks totaling $116,282 to each of the EVSC’s five high school principals and athletic directors in the corporation during tonight’s School Board meeting, from sponsorship proceeds of the L.E.D. scoreboards at each of the five multipurpose complexes including North and Central High Schools.

The funding is used as building leaders deem appropriate, for a variety of projects and needs at each school.  Some of the things that have been funded through these monies include: classroom strategies for interactive learning, response to intervention services, student memberships in a variety of organizations, senior honor roll luncheon, student travel to academic competitions, and a class set of Advanced Placement textbooks.

North High Football Coach Mike Wilson is retiring from coaching and teaching at the end of the school year.

Wilson started as an assistant 37 years ago, then moved up to head coach.

Under his direction, the Huskies won 125 games with five sectional championships, highlighted by the 1995 season, where they went to the semi-state.

Athletic Director Peyton Stovall says Wilson will play a role in the hiring of his replacement.
