Sports

The school's main rivals are Lakeside, Geneva Eagles, and Conneaut High Schools. They compete in the NE8 (Northeast 8 Athletic Conference). The Falcons are former members of the AAC (All American Conference) and the NEC (North East Conference).

Jefferson's best-known sports figure is Matthew Hatchette who played quarterback for the Falcons high school, but transitioned to wide receiver in college. He was drafted in the 7th round of the NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings and also played for the New York Jets, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the NFL Europa team Amsterdam Admirals before leaving the league after 2003.

The Falcon tennis team has been successful in past years, being the dominant team in the NEC.

Music Programs

Jefferson High School is well known for its unique and talented band, directed by Fred Burazer and Roger Lewis. The school also offers other programs such as Show Choir, Treble Choir, Concert Choir, Stage Band, and Music Technology.

gollark: But that is... absolutely not the case.
gollark: I mean, yes, if you already trust everyone to act sensibly and without doing bad stuff, then privacy doesn't matter for those reasons.
gollark: Oh, and as an extension to the third thing, if you already have some sort of vast surveillance apparatus, even if you trust the government of *now*, a worse government could come along and use it later for... totalitarian things.
gollark: For example:- the average person probably does *some* sort of illegal/shameful/bad/whatever stuff, and if some organization has information on that it can use it against people it wants to discredit (basically, information leads to power, so information asymmetry leads to power asymmetry). This can happen if you decide to be an activist or something much later, even- having lots of data on you means you can be manipulated more easily (see, partly, targeted advertising, except that actually seems to mostly be poorly targeted)- having a government be more effective at detecting minor crimes (which reduced privacy could allow for) might *not* actually be a good thing, as some crimes (drug use, I guess?) are kind of stupid and at least somewhat tolerable because they *can't* be entirely enforced practically
gollark: No, it probably isn't your fault, it must have been dropped from my brain stack while I was writing the rest.
