School Supplies

All 7th graders are assigned their own locker and will need a lock prior to being assigned a locker number.

A Master Lock is the recommended lock to use that fits the lockers and is very durable.

Master Locks can be purchased during lunch at the WHHS Spirit Shop for $5.00.

All 7th graders and new 8th graders will receive a student planner.

Student Planners will be passed out on the first day of school in Latin I classes.

We will teach students how to use their planners in class and it is very helpful when they all have the same planner.

Replacement Student Planners can be purchased during lunch at the WHHS Spirit Shop for $5.00.
