Wolfpack Highlights

Greetings!

As we step into the final week of school, it's a time filled with emotion, reflection, and celebration. For our underclassmen, this is the moment to finish strong, show your best effort, and head into summer with pride in what you’ve accomplished.

For our Seniors— next week marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. You've left your mark on our school in big and small ways: through your leadership, your creativity, your resilience, and your heart. We are so proud of each of you.

Take time to say your goodbyes—to teachers, friends, and the spaces that have shaped your journey. Celebrate your memories, and look ahead with courage. Your Wolfpack family will always be cheering you on.

Let’s make this time count. Finish with focus, kindness, and gratitude.

Graduation Day Information

We wanted to provide some important Graduation information for Seniors.

Cintas Center has provided some new important changes from previous years:

Students’ gowns and bags are subject to search upon entry.
Seating policy states one individual can hold no more than 4 seats. Seat reservations will no longer be honored 15 minutes before the ceremony.
Disruptive behavior is subject to removal.

There is a MANDATORY GRADUATION PRACTICE for Seniors on Friday, May 23, 2025 at 9am in the Competition Gym at WCHS. They will be here for about 2 hours. Students will receive their graduation tickets at this event. Each student will get 8 tickets. If they need additional (or less) please make sure the student knows how many tickets they will need before practice.

They do not have to wear their cap and gown to practice.

Please review the following links:

Cintas Bag/Purse Policy

MAP of Cintas Center including Parking and Entrance Information

After graduation, all students will return their rented gown.

Students will keep their cap and tassel.

Students are not permitted to decorate their cap for graduation.

Please write your name on the inside of the cap if you want the same one back at the end.

We hope that you savor these moments with your child, capture them in photos and memories. This is a day they'll never forget, and neither will you. Congratulations to both parents and students and no matter where your journey takes you in the future, you are forever a part of West Clermont.

Leader in Me - Parent Surveys

Our district is implementing a whole-district transformational process called Leader in Me, which teaches 21st-century leadership and life skills to students and creates a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader. Parent input is needed. Please complete the following survey to help us learn more about areas of strength and needed growth in our school.

Please complete the survey using the link below. The survey is completely voluntary, but we do hope to get feedback from one member of every household. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and will ask questions about your child and about his or her experience in our school. If you have more than one child attending the school building, think about the oldest child's experiences as you answer questions.

Link to complete parent survey here

Please complete the survey by: 5/16/25
