Congratulations to Ricki Stevens! Mrs. Stevens is our High School November Teacher of the Month. She is very active in all parts of our school and is willing to help any student that needs it. She is going to do everything she can to make sure her students succeed! Thank you!
WSHS is having a little Christmas fun with our own version of Elf on the Shelf! Each day, a JH elf and a SH elf is placed in common places around campus for students to look for. The students email when they have located them. The winners each day receive a Christmas goodie bag. So far this week, Cally Dodson and Lily Stevens have been our JH winners and Madelynn Turner and Lorelei Buster have been our SH winners. Congratulations!
It's great to see the post-graduation success of our WSHS graduates! We are proud of you, Josh Embrey!
