Hello WHS Families,

On Monday, we will have a fire drill at 10:20 am.

On Wednesday, we will administer the PSAT-NMSQT to students in grades 10-11 and the PSAT 8/9 to students in grade 9.  Please remind your students that they need to bring their fully charged Chromebook, get a good night’s sleep, and eat a healthy breakfast. During the testing period, seniors will participate in special activities in the cafeteria.

On Friday, we will celebrate the culmination of Hispanic Heritage Month with a special event for our students and staff at 1:20 pm.
