It's Go Time!
We cannot wait to welcome your students tomorrow! Our staff has been preparing and getting excited to walk beside them on their growth journey this school year. Our staff theme this year is "Know your Purpose. Pursue your Passion." Our purpose and our mission is to teach your students, but to also be positive lights as they grow and discover their own passion areas. We are committed to helping each student find their voice and value. We will keep our #LifeReadyRocks and #EVERYRockReady hashtags as we continue to implement our Life Ready mission: to prepare EVERY student for the day after graduation. Our two new hash tags this year are: #EVERYRockValued and #EVERYRockConnected. That is our hope and goal as we enter a new school year.
Students should make sure they can access their schedules on Powerschool and then report directly to their first period classes tomorrow. It's going to be a wonderful first day and a great school year!

COVID Protocol Reminders
Just a reminder that our current WWS COVID protocols state that masks are optional, but strongly recommended regardless of vaccination status. Students are required to wear masks on buses, per federal mandate. We will wash student desks in between each class period and lunch period, and we will be disinfecting desks and high traffic areas each evening.
WHS: Connecting EVERY Student to the Life Ready Mission
At WHS, we believe that to make students Life Ready, we must prepare them and equip them to grow in key skills in the areas of academics, wellness and career. Through preparation in these areas, we help give them the power of choice and opportunity. Through choice and opportunity, they grow in independence and are ready to leave here grounded in their purpose and able to pursue their true passions. That is our Life Ready mission.
2021-2022 Commencement Date
Update Your Student's Medical Information Through PowerSchool
If you have not updated medical information for your student, please submit info through the PARENT PORTAL of PowerSchool in order for your child to be treated in the health clinic. This includes administering Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen. We will not be calling parents for permission to give medications unless the student is significantly ill. This must be updated EVERY School Year.
2021-22 School Picture Days
All underclassmen pictures will be taken on Friday, August 13th during the school day. Seniors will have their pictures taken on Monday, August 16th during the school day.
Traditionally, more formal attire is recommended for seniors. Please note there is no change of clothing, so seniors should plan to look nice all day and adhere to our dress code.
Prestige Portraits will offer seniors the opportunity to have a Senior Portrait session at their studio with no sitting fee, multiple outfits, and props such as trophies, instruments, pets, sports equipment, etc. Seniors should expect more information from Prestige the first week of October. For questions about senior portraits, please contact Prestige at (317) 564-2592.
