Celebrating Our Employees of the Year! Today our principal presented the WCHS staff who have been honored as Employees of the Year in their respective classifications with edible arrangements! Not pictured* Mrs. Rosiland Bell and Mrs. Ida Swain. Thank you all for your commitment to excellence! 🐾💙

Setting the Tone for Success at WCHS! 🐾 Today, our WCHS staff participated in a powerful motivational activity, focusing on how to create, develop, and maintain a positive school culture. Together, we explored what it truly means to be a WCHS Panther—leading with pride, purpose, and passion! One comment that stood out the most was: “Be the thermostat instead of the thermometer.” 🔵 A thermometer reacts to the environment—it changes based on what’s happening around it. 🔵 A thermostat sets the tone—it regulates and influences the environment to create the right atmosphere. #WCHSPanthers #BeTheThermostat #Leadership #MotivationMatters

📢 WCHS Students Making It Make Cents! 💰💡 Today, all 8th graders and a group of 10th graders attended the “Make It Make Cents” event—a hands-on experience designed to help students connect classroom skills to real-world, profitable scenarios! Using CTE pathways available at WCHS, students identified essential skills and explored how teamwork boosts efficiency and profitability. Triple Threat Mathematic kept the event engaging, introducing students to podcast creation with full team collaboration. 🎙️✨ This experience not only strengthened their understanding of career pathways but also provided an incredible opportunity to network with former community partners. #MakeItMakeCents #RealWorldLearning #TripleThreatMathematic #partnerships
