Hello Warrior Families!
What a great week we have had starting off with Halloween Dress Up Day on Monday and our Jostens team in the auditorium on Wednesday with our seniors and sophomores. The second quarter is under way and our football team is in the second round of the state playoffs. Hope to see you all at the game tonight and enjoy the incredible weather we have been having. Winter sports and clubs are starting to meet to prepare for their seasons and we are two weeks away from the Fall Play. So much happening at WMHS.

10th Grade Field Trip to CTEC - Monday, November 21
Each school year we partner with C-TEC of Licking County to give students the opportunity to explore career and educational opportunities outside of our WMHS school walls. We will be visiting CTEC with our 10th grade class on Monday, November 21st.
Video that was shared in 10th grade US History Classes for students: CTEC Message to Students
Students selected 2 programs of their choice to shadow during this trip, they will receive lunch at CTEC and will also hear from CTEC Leadership and Peer Mentors about what CTEC can offer.
Students will not need to bring anything with them for this trip; there will be no place at CTEC for them to store their bags. Please encourage them to leave their bags and any unnecessary items at home on this day.
Students who decide to remain at WMHS for the day will follow their schedule like normal - please return the REVERSE PERMISSION SLIP (purple form) given to students in US History classes this week.
We are looking forward to a great trip with our 10th grade students on November 21st!
