Last week’s Board of Trustees meeting featured a Campus Spotlight on the Hardin-Jefferson Athletic Booster Club, which raised more than $217,000 last year to support HJ student-athletes and athletic programs!

We are incredibly grateful for the Booster Club’s dedication, hard work and continued support of our Hawks and Lady Hawks.

Beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, the use of Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) to monitor environmental conditions and guide activity modifications is no longer a recommendation, but a required standard for all UIL outdoor athletic and marching band activities.

The American College of Sports Medicine has recommended WBGT guidelines that dictate modifications in activity (work: rest ratios, hydration breaks, equipment worn, length of practice) at given WBGT temperatures to prevent Exertional Heat Stroke. The below table represents modified guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine regarding:

• The scheduling of practices at appropriate WBGT levels

• The ratio of workout time to time allotted for rest and hydration at various WBGT levels

• The WBGT levels at which activities should be terminated
