Jeff is the grandson of the late Chet & Lucile Albert ’31 Wiles and son of the late
’57
Alan Wiles and Jean Marler ’59 Wiles. Jeff and Vicki Frazier ’83 Wiles have been married
for 33 years. Brothers, Roger ’83 and Craig ’90 are also PHS grads. Jeff & Vicki are loyal
Husker Fans and avid golfers.
Jeff’s teaching career began in 1985 at PHS, where he once again wore the blue and
white of the Blue Devils. The coaches he played for while growing up, were now his professional mentors and co-workers.
People like, Bob Priebe, his Social Studies department head and Don Freeburg, Cecil McKnight, and Charlie Caverzagie be-
came the coaches he would now assist. Jeff coached football, basketball, and track during his teaching years. Jeff played an
important role as the sponsor of the PHS Student Council, his leadership expanded to the role of advisor for the State of Ne-
braska Student Council and he also brought the State Student Council convention to PHS several times because of his leader-
ship in the organization. During his tenure at PHS Jeff was the recipient of the Ron Joekel award for leadership develop-
ment, the State Student Council Advisor of the Year, National Healthy School Champion, NCA District Track coach of the
year, and many other recognitions,
Jeff earned a Masters Degree in Economics. He was the PHS Athletic Director for 5 years. In 2005 Jeff earned an
endorsement in Administration and became High School
Principal in 2006. Teaching in Plattsmouth has never
been an 8:00 to 3:00 job for Jeff. He was a part of the
community in the promotion of kids and their education
through involvement in many organizations in Platts-
mouth. He knew everyone. He led kids by example, he
wasn’t afraid to pick up a hammer to build for the athletic
department or a broom to sweep the floor to be ready to
show off the facilities. Jeff’s latest passion as an admin-
istrator was to bring career academies to PHS. The ca-
reer academies balances learning preferences and careers
together. The ultimate goals are to have PHS students
career/college ready upon graduation and to have greater
involvement with community business leaders. Jeff Wiles
lived the PRIDE, HONOR, SPIRIT of PHS.

2018 HONOR CLASSES
We are proud to announce the debut of the JEFF WILES LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT FUND. The
purpose of the fund is to help foster leadership opportunities for PHS students. This Fund will be available to students,
educators, administrators, and clubs, as a vehicle for attending leadership conferences, bringing training to Plattsmouth
for the benefit of students and staff. The help could come in the form of a grant to help students attend national leader-
ship activities, or to pay for a speaker to address specific needs, to bring in professionals to help with team building. The
opportunities are limitless and supported by our imagination. The Fund will be managed through the Plattsmouth Educa-
tion Foundation to provide the benefits of a 501(c)(3) tax deductible organization.
I would like to make a contribution to the JEFF WILES LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT FUND.
