Principal's Message
April 23, 2022
Dear Walnut Hills High School Families:
I think a lot of people will agree that the Friday’s Chalk Drawings and Earth Jam are one of Walnut Hills High School’s favorite traditions. The students and teachers did an excellent job focusing on the End of Course tests on Monday through Thursday. Friday was the perfect day - and perfect weather - to celebrate the talents of our students and enjoy some time together as a school community. It was a great week to be an Eagle!
Chalk Drawings and Earth Jam also signal that we are heading into the last part of the school year. Last week was the midterm of the 4th quarter. There are four weeks before final exams! In the first two weeks of May, 1,060 students will be taking 2,320 AP exams in 33 subject areas. These numbers speak to the strength of our exemplary AP program. All students will be wrapping up their learning and participating in culminating activities. Thank you, parents and guardians, for all that you do to help us encourage the students to finish strong. If there is anything that we can do to help, please reach out to your child's teachers, counselor, or grade level administrator.
Sincerely,
John Chambers
