WHS News - 4/3/14


It's almost Spring Break ...... Marking Period 3 ends today...... I just finished the Final Exam Schedule..... where did this year go?  Its been a very busy year for all of us but a lot has been accomplished and there is so much for us to be proud of.  I still feel the energy and passion when talking to staff members who are still creating and trying new ideas within their lessons.  Don't lose that!!
