From Our Principal
Good morning WHS families,
While week one is always filled with special schedules and events, we had the opportunity to get some normalcy during week two. Our students had a great week! I was very happy with our turnout for Open House on Tuesday night. Thank you to those that were able to stop by the High School and see all that was going on. A special thank you to our National Honor Society members. They did a tremendous job throughout the evening!
We received some great news this past week. WHS Junior, Isabella DiGiulio, received a perfect score of 36 on her ACT test. Congratulations Isabella on this amazing accomplishment!
Many families have asked about teacher webpages. Teacher webpages can be accessed
here.
If you have specific questions, I encourage you to contact the teachers directly. Their emails are also on the link above.
Many of our clubs and activities have started. I have been posting the information on Twitter and we also started to post the information on the announcements section of the webpage. Announcements can be found
here
.
If your child has off campus CCP classes, please sign-up for our "Remind" so you can stay in the loop with all information related to WHS. You can sign up
here.
WHS conferences are on Tuesday, September 19 and Wednesday, September 27. Conference sign-ups are on-line. If interested in a conference time, please sign up
here
.
This week our pep band is playing at Bassett and Hilliard elementary schools and many of our athletic teams are off to great starts! Check out our
athletic webpage
to stay on top of all of the action.
Finally, if your child drives to school, be sure to get them a parking pass. We have started to check for tags, there are some cars that do not have a parking permit. If you do not have a permit, you may be towed off of the property. Please contact Mr. Lauver with questions. The number is 440.250.1004.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.
Have a wonderful week!
