WCHS Update: WCHS Honor's Day has been rescheduled for Friday, February 11th at 10:00a.

We are excited to announce our school’s launch of the Peer Helpers Program, a student prevention and support program like none before. This comes at a crucial time for the mental and physical health of our young people. In addition to the previously existing challenges students face, they now have the added effects of social isolation, potential sickness, widespread death, parent job loss, and strained academic performance. They are in need of support now more than ever. Peer Helpers support other students as a tutor, mentor, or confidant. Students feel a connection to other students, making them an excellent resource for our community building. Peer helper coordinators are Mrs. Robin Williams and Mrs. Alexis Tucker.

WCHS Updates: Come out and SUPPORT our athletic department for SENIOR NIGHT TONIGHT as our Jaguars take on the Monroe County High School Tigers. First game tips off at 5:00p. Tickets are $7 and may be purchased at the door. Additionally, WCHS continues to follow CDC guidelines. Masks MUST be worn and ALL K-8th grade scholars MUST be accompanied by an adult 18 or older.
