Good evening, WFHS Students and Families,

 

This week is the official beginning of Spring and just two weeks away from the third quarter ending. Please urge your student(s) to submit all work and finish third quarter strong. I also want to remind students and families that WCPSS does have a dress code that should be followed.

WFHS JRTOC is sponsoring a Sprit Night on March 18th. Please see the attached flyer for details.
