Wiley Elementary Staff and Students would like to congratulate Jaxi Downing on a successful weekend of wrestling. Jaxi participated with Sisters on the Mat out of Texas in an all-girls duals team at Oiltown Throwdown in Ponca City, OK. Her team placed 1st in the Silver Division out of 12 teams. Jaxi walked away with four pins on the weekend! Keep up the great work Jaxi! Wiley Elementary is proud to showcase our students' achievements outside of school as well. Please feel free to send any pictures and a short summary and I would be glad to post. We are equally proud of our students as they succeed in their extracurricular activities.

Congratulations to the Wiley Senior High School Honor Roll Recipients for the Fall Semester of the 2024 - 2025 school year.
This year, we will be adjusting the High School Honor Roll Categories.
We will base the Honor Roll levels on the students' Semester Grade Point Average (GPA).
Along with using GPA as the criteria, the Honor Roll levels will reflect the use of the Latin Laude System for recognizing achievement. This system is frequently used as a graduation designation but is also a great way to recognize achievement in other areas of student academics.
Wiley High School will use the following Criteria:
Cum Laude (“with honor”) Semester Honor Roll: 3.0-3.49 Weighted Semester GPA
Magna Cum Laude (“with great honor”) Semester Honor Roll: 3.5-3.99 Weighted Semester GPA
Summa Cum Laude (“with the highest honor”) Semester Honor Roll: 4.00 and above Weighted Semester GPA
The JH Basketball Tournament will now be pushed back one day. Games times will remain the same.
Congratulations to the Wiley Junior High School Honor Roll recipients for the Fall Semester 2024 - 2025 school year.
Superintendent’s Honor Roll–No Class Grade lower than an "A"
Principal’s Honor Roll–No Class Grade lower than a "B"
