Quincy High School (Quincy, Washington)

School in the United States


Quincy High School is a public high school serving 770 students in grades 9–12 located in Quincy, Washington, United States.[2] The current principal is Dr. Marcus Pimpleton.[3] It's athletics nickname is The Jacks. This is a reference to the black-tailed jackrabbits which once inhabited the area. Although they are now considered to be a highly endangered species in the Washington area, these hares were once so abundant, they were hunted for sport. The jackrabbits were hunted so frequently, they quickly became a scarcity. Now legally protected, the jackrabbit population is slowly returning. In homage of the creatures who were nearly hunted to extinction, Quincy High School has since made the black-tailed jackrabbit their official mascot.[citation needed]
