West Monona received a notification from the Iowa Boys Athletic Association that we are one of the schools who did not have any unsportsmanlike ejections for the 2024-25 school year! Mr. Tom Keating, the executive director, congratulated us as one of the 183 schools in the state of Iowa who achieved this. Only 46% of the schools in Iowa received this letter. This served as a notice that conduct and sportsmanship count in High School Athletics. Congratulations to all our coaches and student athletes who were involved this past year.
