Polk County High School Athletic Director Jeff Wilson was the guest speaker at a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of Tryon. Wilson gave Rotarians an update on the status of various athletic programs at the high school as well as the school’s philosophy of how the athletic program in combination with a strong academic program is instrumental in the development of future leaders. Particularly impressive at Polk County High School is the large percentage of students involved in at least one athletic program. Following the presentation, there were many compliments from the Rotarians about the enthusiasm and hard work Wilson brings to his role as athletic director.
