GIRLS WRESTLING: Attention All Girls in Grades 7 – 9 → The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union Board of Directors voted to include Girls’ Wrestling as an official sanctioned sport last year. This will be the first year that Johnston will have a girls program and we are looking for girls in grades 7-12 that are interested in learning more, participating and competing.

If your student is interested, please click the link below and complete the google form. Completing the form will give the Activities Department a list of interested students, so that we can share communications to prepare for this upcoming season. Additionally, the Activities Department will be hosting two FREE clinic dates for interested students.
