WEST LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL ANNOUNCES NEW ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
Lincoln County Schools is proud to announce the appointment of John Markley as the new Athletic Director at West Lincoln High School. A dedicated educator, accomplished coach, and longtime member of the West Lincoln community, Markley brings more than a decade of experience and a deep commitment to student success in both the classroom and athletics.
Markley has served West Lincoln High School for 12 years in a variety of roles, including social studies teacher, coach, and, most recently, Dean of Academics. His leadership experience, combined with his strong relationships across the school community, positions him well to lead the school’s athletic programs into the future.
Throughout his coaching career, Markley has demonstrated a consistent record of excellence. As Head Baseball Coach, he has led his teams to three conference championships (2016, 2019, 2025) and a Western Regional Finalist appearance in 2019. He was named South Fork Conference Baseball Coach of the Year in 2019. In addition, he guided the women’s cross country team to a conference championship in 2016, earning Coach of the Year honors that same season.
Markley’s impact extends beyond wins and championships. He has played a pivotal role in developing student-athletes, with more than 15 advancing to compete at the collegiate level and eight signing with professional organizations, including Major League Baseball affiliates. His commitment to mentorship and player development reflects his belief in preparing students for success beyond high school.
In recognition of his contributions to the school community, Markley was named West Lincoln High School Teacher of the Year for the 2020–2021 school year. He also brings extensive professional credentials, including NFHS Accredited Interscholastic Coach certification, multiple NFHS coaching certifications, and USA Baseball certifications.
“I am honored to serve West Lincoln High School in this new role,” said Markley. “This school and community have meant so much to me throughout my career. I look forward to continuing to build on the strong traditions of West Lincoln athletics while supporting our student-athletes, coaches, and programs at the highest level.”
As Athletic Director, Markley will oversee all aspects of the school’s athletic programs, focusing on fostering a culture of excellence, sportsmanship, and opportunity for all students.
Lincoln County Schools congratulates John Markley on this well-deserved appointment and looks forward to the continued success of West Lincoln High School athletics under his leadership.
Markley resides in Cherryville with his wife, Sydnie, and daughter Adley. The Markleys are expecting a baby boy, and future Rebel, due in September this year.
Mr. Markley is replacing Victor David Avery, who will transition to the district as Coordinator of Athletics, Safety, and Custodial Services on July 1, 2026.

LINCOLNTON HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT JAKE TWEED EARNS PRESTIGIOUS MOREHEAD-CAIN SCHOLARSHIP
Lincoln County Schools is proud to recognize Lincolnton High School senior Jake Tweed for earning the prestigious Morehead-Cain Scholarship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, one of the nation’s most competitive and distinguished undergraduate awards.
The Morehead-Cain Scholarship is a fully funded, four-year program that not only covers tuition but also provides enrichment opportunities designed to develop future leaders. Recipients are selected through a rigorous, multi-stage process that evaluates academic excellence, leadership, character, physical vigor, and a sustained commitment to service.
Tweed’s selection places him among an elite group of scholars nationwide—and marks a rare achievement locally. He is only the second student from a Lincoln County high school in the past 50 years to receive this honor.
Ranked first in his class, Tweed has maintained a 4.0 unweighted GPA and a 4.794 weighted GPA while completing 12 Advanced Placement courses. He has also earned AP Scholar with Distinction honors, reflecting both his academic rigor and commitment to excellence.
Beyond the classroom, Tweed has demonstrated exceptional leadership. He has served as both Junior and Senior Class President, participated on the City of Lincolnton Student Advisory Council, and led as captain of the school’s quiz bowl team.
A three-sport athlete, Tweed has been a captain of the tennis, swim, and soccer teams. His accomplishments include being named Defensive Player of the Year and earning All-State honors in soccer.
Tweed’s commitment to service is equally notable. He is an active member of the National Honor Society, Beta Club, Interact Club, and Young Lincoln Leaders, and he has earned the rank of Eagle Scout—demonstrating a deep and consistent commitment to his community.
“Jake’s achievement reflects not only his dedication and perseverance, but also the strong support system of educators, coaches, family, and community members who have helped him along the way,” said Lincolnton High School principal Kristie Ballard. “He represents the very best of Lincolnton High School and Lincoln County Schools.”
Lincoln County Schools celebrates Jake Tweed not only for his remarkable accomplishments, but for the leadership, character, and service he exemplifies; qualities that will continue to shape his future and positively impact others.

This week is Bring Your Legislator to School Week! On Monday, Representative Heather Rhyne spent her entire day in several schools across the district.

Last week, we had the privilege of attending West Lincoln High School’s NJROTC Area Manager’s Inspection, where our cadets demonstrated outstanding discipline, focus, and pride. Watching students in uniform execute precise marching commands across the gym was a powerful reminder of the leadership and character being developed through this program.
During the inspection, several students were recognized for their achievements, but one cadet stood out in an extraordinary way. Company Commanding Officer Russell Gibson was honored for his bravery and quick action during an evening at work when he noticed someone in distress. Without hesitation, Russell directed another individual to call 911 and immediately began administering CPR—taking lifesaving action when it mattered most. At a time when many might pause or pull out their phones, Russell chose to step forward and help. That is true leadership.
This recognition is especially significant, as it represents the highest cadet achievement awarded through Naval Education and Training Command, with Admiral-level approval. During the inspection, Col. Clark personally recognized Russell and spoke to the impact of his actions.
We are proud to spotlight Russell Gibson for his courage, leadership, and commitment to others. Stories like his remind us of the incredible young people in Lincoln County Schools and the difference they are already making in our community.

Cindy Stewart, Agriculture Teacher at West Lincoln High School, is our CTE Teacher of the Year!
With 26 years in the classroom, Mrs. Stewart teaches Animal Science I and II (Companion Animal), Horticulture I (Introduction to Plants), and Horticulture II (Landscape Construction). She is dedicated to preparing students to be informed, responsible consumers in a global society, using hands-on, real-world learning experiences to bring agriculture and environmental systems to life.
Through grant funding, she has expanded opportunities for students by implementing innovative, sustainable agriculture initiatives, including bee hives and an aquaponics system at WLHS. These experiences allow students to explore food production, environmental stewardship, and sustainability in meaningful ways.
Mrs. Stewart’s impact extends far beyond her classroom. She is especially proud that two of her former students are now agriculture teachers themselves—one of whom was recently named Teacher of the Year—continuing her legacy.
