We understand that it is an inconvenience, but for safety and traffic flow, please make sure you are following the current dropoff/pickup procedures.

Parent drop off in the mornings will be allowed on the North side of WHS. Be mindful of the buses joining you between 7:00-7:30. (Drop off after 7:20 is recommended)

🚨 Parent pick up in the afternoon (WHS only) will be at the HOME side parking lot of Bearcat Stadium (all car riders from WHS will be shuttled to Bearcat via school bus after school). The WHS north parking lot cannot accommodate 100+ parent vehicles, buses, and all of the students trying to leave at the same time!

We have noticed more cars attempting to pick up in the North parking lot and this is causing issues for the buses entering and exiting the parking lot.

As more roads and parking becomes available throughout the year, we will make adjustments to these traffic/parking patterns!

The Bearcat Closet at WHS is a clothing collection that our students have access to whenever they need something. The items are free to the students. This time of year coats and jackets are high on the want list. If anyone has new or clean, slightly used jackets that our teenage students would wear, we will gladly take your donation in the WHS office.
