After much speculation, WT treasure Deryck Leeper (‘25) has announced his return to Winchester Thurston as he will be re-taking his senior year in 2025-26.
When we asked Deryck’s classmate and close friend Xander Kope (‘26) about how many years he thought Deryck would take high school for, he said, “I don’t know, like 4…but it’ll be nice to have the kid back.”
Deryck said “he saw potential in” the class of ‘29 and “just couldn’t resist sticking around for one more year.”
It looks like the Der Bear will be back for one final ride. His legacy is far from over, so buckle up, Bears.
