Why is 9th Grade so Important!?

Many freshmen fall into the trap of thinking their grades do not matter their first year. They have an idea that they will do better in future years and pull their GPA up in those years. DON'T FALL INTO THE TRAP!

Did you know....all grades received in 9th grade follow you every year!? Good or bad, these grades are factored into your Cumulative GPA each subsequent year/semester.

Freshmen grades are, perhaps, the most important you will earn. Start your GPA off on the right foot! Keep those freshmen grades up and don't fall into the trap of thinking they don't matter.

Registration for 9th Grade Classes

8th Graders will work with their middle school counselors and/or teachers to discuss and courses for next year. 8th Graders are to ask their middle school counselor if they have questions about registering for 9th Grade courses. WHS counselors will then sit with each 8th grader at their middle school and register them for their high school courses.

As freshmen, students only have two open spots in their 7-period schedule for electives after scheduling the required courses. Students will be identifying courses they would like to take as electives as well as alternates that the counselors can use in the event the preferred courses are full.
