A Message from Principal Callaghan
Dear WHS Families,
We are grateful the first three days of the ‘21-‘22 school year ran smoothly as teachers/staff connected with students to welcome them back and to begin to establish the crucial bonds needed for optimal teaching and learning conditions. Please know there is a great deal of excitement for the year ahead.
In the coming days, I will be sharing a video ‘Welcome Message’ to WHS families which will introduce this year’s school-wide theme and highlight our areas of focus to ensure WHS continues to meet the needs of all students amidst the complex demands in our society.
Again, our enthusiasm and commitment to a safe and successful year ahead are very high. Welcome!
Sincerely,
Mr. Brian M. Callaghan
WHS Principal
WHS Annual Open House ~ 9/9/21 @ 6:30 pm
Please review the details of our annual Open House to take place in person on Thursday, September 9th at 6:30 p.m.
Open House represents a nice tradition at WHS and an opportunity for parents to better understand our high school programs and a chance to meet teachers. This event is an important one for our high school that typically attracts enthusiastic and eager participants. We very much want to promote a sense of partnership with parents and have you clearly recognize the extraordinary quality of the professional staff and high-caliber programs and services within WHS.
Class presentations to parents/ guardians shall focus on the following:
- The nature of instruction and major course objectives

(Information that cannot be provided in 8 minutes will be printed as handouts for parents)
