A message from the WCHS Student Council:
Hometown Hero: September
This month’s hometown hero is Mrs. McMillan. She has been a school councilor for 8 years. She chose this profession because she loves to help students academically with college and their mental health. We picked her for our hometown hero because she is not only fantastic with helping students, but she’s also amazing at helping everyone in the school improve. We are so thankful for Mrs. McMillan and everything she does for our school. We couldn’t ask for a better member of our counseling department!
SENIOR NIGHT!
KHEAA will be coming to visit with our seniors during the day on October 7th to begin the process of their FASFA application.
