Positive Attitude (pos·i·tive at·ti·tude) - Having a positive attitude means being optimistic about situations, interactions, and yourself. People with positive attitudes remain hopeful and see the best even in difficult situations.
At WHS students and staff should keep positive attitudes. Keeping positive attitudes helps students and teachers make connections, relationships and allows students to learn the most from their teachers.
