Butler High School

Parents,

We will not be holding a Winter Parent Meeting this year, as the information from the Fall Parent Meeting remains the same. However, coaches may choose to hold their own team meetings if they feel it’s necessary.

Below is the key information for your reference and review:

Physicals & Documentation:
Any student who did not participate in a fall sport must have a current physical and all required annual MSHSAA documentation on file before they can practice.
These forms are available in the High School Office.

Practice Start Dates:

Middle School Sports: Practices are already underway.

High School Sports:

Girls & Boys Basketball — Begin November 3

Girls Wrestling — Begins November 3

Boys Wrestling — Begins November 10

Coaching Staff:

HS Girls Basketball — Coach Lacey Cook

HS Boys Basketball — Coach Will Burch

HS Girls Wrestling — Coach Andy Dixon

HS Boys Wrestling — Coach Zack Wicks

Please reach out to your student’s coach or the High School Office if you have any questions.

Thank you for your continued support — we’re looking forward to a great winter season! 🏀🤼‍♀️🐻
