Dear Whitewater community and business partners,
We are excited to announce that we have partnered with local school districts to launch a Digital Job Board (wijobboard.com) for our students to find work-based learning experiences.
If you have entry-level jobs that our students can work in, please CLICK HERE.
Once on the website, click:
Employers
Post a job
Then the system will walk you through posting a job
It is free to post a job for 365 days a year and you can manage your job posting as you fill them or have increased openings. Your job postings will be accessible to over 12,000 students at this time.
Please note: the Digital Job Board will now be our main communication tool for job opportunities for our students.
Again thank you for working with us!
Whippet Wrestlers Advance to State!
Lauren Buehler became Whitewater's first qualifier in the new format by securing two pins on her way to the championship. She started the day with a very fast pin and in the finals was down 4-5 going into the 3rd period, went up 10-5 and then was able to secure the pin.
State update: Lauren won her first match on Thursday by pin for herself and advanced to the quarterfinal round, where she lost. Lauren competed again on Friday and had her season end in the consolation round.
Aaron Porras finished in 2nd place at 160lbs and also qualified for a trip to state!
State update: Aaron lost his first round match and closed out a very nice career with a 37-11 record as a senior. Aaron was a conference champion, regional champion, section runner up and state qualifier. He ended his career with 75 wins.
