Course Selection Next Steps
May is Mental Health Awareness Month
We remind our students and families that WHS has many resources and supports available to students. In addition to school counselors, WHS has adjustment counselors, a social worker, a school psychologist, a community outreach counselor, and several collaborations with community agencies. If you or someone you care for is looking for support, please reach out to your school counselor or an adult at WHS that you trust. We also encourage you to take a moment to review some of the Mental Health and Well-being resources on the WHS Guidance website.
