#ABSSClassof2025 | 🌟 Senior Spotlight: Kaleb Long
From Highland Elementary to Western Alamance Middle School and now graduating from Western Alamance High School, Kaleb Long has made his mark as a true student-athlete throughout his ABSS journey.
Kaleb's love for sports, especially basketball, has been a constant throughout his high school years. When his path took an unexpected turn junior year, Kaleb showed incredible resilience by discovering new opportunities - including making the golf team his senior year.

Western Alamance Student Shines on National Stage!
We’re thrilled to share that Bob Jefferson, a junior at Western Alamance High School in Elon, NC, has won first prize in the national 2025 Gerry Mulligan Jazz Challenge!
Bob’s outstanding saxophone performance of “Etude for Franca” earned him top marks from professional judges across the country—and a $500 grant from the Gerry & Franca Mulligan Foundation.
A lifelong jazz enthusiast, Bob says, “I grew up listening to Gerry and Birth of the Cool. He was a fantastic artist.”
Congratulations, Bob, for making our community proud and keeping jazz alive!
Get ready for a hilarious trip back to the 16th century with Something Rotten Jr!
This uproarious musical takes you behind the scenes of Shakespeare’s world, where two struggling playwrights plot to outdo the Bard himself by writing the first-ever musical. With catchy songs, hilarious antics, and a lot of heart, Something Rotten Jr is a rollicking comedy about fame, fortune, and the joy of breaking all the rules. Don’t miss this side-splitting musical adventure!

Big congratulations to these exceptional ABSS musicians who showcased their skills at the 2025 Western Region Orchestra in Boone last weekend! Senior viola player Aslynn West from Walter M. Williams High School and junior trumpet player Christian Boudrealt from Western Alamance High School participated in the Honors Orchestra under Dr. Alexandra Dee's direction from Appalachian State University. Freshman bass player Michael-Andres Cruz from Williams not only performed in the Repertory Orchestra but earned 1st chair in his section! 🎵
The Repertory Orchestra was conducted by Williams' own Orchestra Director, Veronica Biscocho! North Carolina's orchestra program divides the state into eastern and western regions, each hosting special events featuring guest clinicians from across the country. So proud of our musical stars! 🌟

To close out Athletic Director Appreciation Week, WAHS would like to show our appreciation for ABSS Director of Athletics, Todd Davis. Todd works incredibly hard to support all of the athletic programs in our district, and he truly exemplifies what it means to be a servant leader. He is always willing to jump in and help whenever and wherever he is needed, and no job is beneath him. We are blessed to have him as a leader and an advocate for our coaches and athletes!
Winter Break is starting soon! We will see all of our students and staff back on campus on January 6, 2025!
