There will be a practice SAT exam here at WHS on Saturday, May 19th from 8:30-1:00.   Anyone can take this test, but this will be especially important for students who are going to take their actual SAT on June 2.

$5.00 holds your spot, which will be returned to you when you arrive on test day.

What IS College Knowledge Night?
We’re bringing more than 30 in-state and out-of-state colleges, universities, and college-access programs to WHS! We’ll have opening remarks in the auditorium, followed by break-out sessions with private and public college/university admissions reps, and open-air information tables. Participants will be able to learn about individual colleges, as well as hear presentations on topics ranging from How to Choose a Best Match College to Where to Find the Money. But wait… there’s more… We’ll also have four scholarship drawings totaling $800 (three $100 scholarships and one GRAND PRIZE $500 scholarship!) for WHS incoming-8th graders and current freshman, sophomores, and juniors who attend. Oh… and there will be refreshments, too!
