A new chapter has begun for Wagener-Salley High School athletics!

On Friday, September 4, the Wagener-Salley War Eagles entered a new chapter for their athletic programs.

After playing their final game at their longtime home field at the former high school on August 28, the War Eagles played their first game in their new stadium, dedicated to former principal J.O. Brown.

This new athletic complex is part of a $15 million project that include the additions of new baseball and softball fields, and an eight- lane track located on Wagener-Salley's campus.

The new 1,200 seat stadium brings equitable spaces to Wagener-Salley athletics and will set a high standard of competition of years to come. The J.O. Brown Stadium dedication marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Wagener-Salley community with all of the War Eagle spirit.

PALMETTO CIVICS PROJECT AN INITIATIVE OF THE SC DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Families are invited to participate in Summer SC 250 activities as South Carolina prepares to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution and our state’s important role in our nation’s history. These summer activities provide meaningful opportunities for students and families to learn, explore, and connect with local and state history. Take part and help celebrate South Carolina’s rich history, heritage, and contributions to our country.

The Palmetto Civics Project is a resource-rich initiative designed to foster students’ understanding of and respect for the institutions that sustain our civic life. Our goal is simple but profound: every South Carolina graduate will leave school prepared to embrace the privileges and the responsibilities of American citizenship.

Please visit SC Palmetto Civics Project to learn more.
