Being a member of Student Council is an excellent way to become involved in WHS. Students gain leadership and interpersonal skills while having fun and meeting new people. Student Council members are active throughout the year, with Homecoming, the winter holiday season, Winter Spirit Week (Feb.), and the Fall and Spring Blood Drives. Student Council meetings are held every Wednesday after school. Throughout the year Council members may also participate in the WASC leadership conferences, various charity fundraisers and other volunteer activities. The freshmen representatives have the opportunity to apply in the spring of their 8th grade year. If you would like to be in Student Council, application packets will be distributed at the feeder schools at the beginning of May. If you don’t receive one, contact one of the advisors by the end of the first week of May
