PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
November 3, 2023
Dear Walnut Hills High School Families:
This week got off to a spooky start with our Senior Halloween parade in Blair Circle on Tuesday. We also kicked off our traditional New Student Shadowing Program, as many 7th grade students played host to potential 6th grade students who are looking to attend Walnut Hills next fall. Our current Eagles are settling into the 2nd quarter as midterms approach next week. Do not forget to turn those clocks back this weekend.
Have a safe and fun weekend. Go Eagles!
