Hanging in There!
We have completed our 6th week of school and all things considered, we are moving along nicely. Our students and staff have done a fantastic job adjusting to the school in the Covid 19 era. One of the things that we must continue to do is wear our masks during the school day and practice social distancing, especially at lunch when masks are off. In addition, when encourage our student to continue these same practices when they are outside of school, especially when they are in groups. We understand people have different opinions about wearing masks and they can be a major pain, but if each of us do our part, it increases our chances of keeping students in school, which is where they learn best. Let us all work together so we can continue to provide our students with the face-to-face instruction our students deserve.

CTE Students in Action!
WHS student TJ Magnuson uses a coil roofing nailer to attach a shingle to his group's shed project. Students Connor Picotte, Gavin Dawson, and Justin Luce are cutting and holding the shingles in place. This will be the first of many sheds the WHS Construction trades class will complete this school year.
Our CTE Welding program includes both Westwood and Ishpeming High School students.
