In May 2001, the board of education voted to name the new high school Timberland High School, a name which had been submitted by sophomore Jaci Woodburn. Timberland became a fully independent four-year high school in 2002. [2]

Athletics

He spent the last two years of his coaching career as an assistant the running backs and special teams coach for the Washington University Bears. During his first year at Washington University, the team earned its only NCAA playoff appearance in its history. Swofford died suddenly of a heart attack in September 2002. His wife, Runa Swofford, worked at Timberland and years ago purchased a bell in her husband's name. The tradition of ringing that bell after football victories continues today.
