JW Sexton High School

J.W. Sexton High School is a public school located on the western edge of Lansing, Michigan, United States, in the Lansing School District. Known for their astounding Track and Field and Football teams, the Sexton Big Reds dominate the athletic field and are members of the Capital Area Activities Conference. In recent years sexton has declined in enrollment due to low test scores and violence in the school. Sexton has a predominantly African American population. The school has an extremely fierce inner-city rivalry with the Everett Vikings of Everett High School located on the south side of the city. Sexton has always been known to have the upper edge on the vikings.

The students fondly refer to the school as "The Dubb" or "J Dubb," short for "J.W." of the school's name. It also used to be called "West Side High" as its located on the west side of the city. This name comes from the 1980's movie "Lean on Me" where the students there referred to their high school as "East Side High"
