Board presents championship ring to district superintendent after state football title
Summary
During its April 21, 2020 meeting, the Randolph County Board of Education presented a championship ring to Mr. Jacobs in recognition of Whythe High School's state football championship; the presentation included comments of gratitude and applause.
The Randolph County Board of Education paused regular business on April 21, 2020 to present a state championship ring to Mr. Jacobs in recognition of Whythe High School’s football title the previous year.
The chair introduced the moment, saying the football team had won the state championship and that the board had been “remiss in failing to get Mr. Jacobs a championship ring.” The chair added that a superintendent should have a championship ring to mark the support given to the team and presented the ring on behalf of the board and administration. Attendees responded with applause and light-hearted comments about ring size and fittings.
Why this matters: the presentation is a local recognition of school athletic achievement and the role of district leadership in supporting extracurricular programs. The board returned immediately to routine business after the presentation.
