Whitehall High School Alma Mater 

(Tune: “Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes”)

The youth that from his mother’s home goes forth to Whitehall High.

Can ne’er be said to wildly roam, or fade in clouds well nigh:

So let us now the truth bestow and here our altars raise.

And our dear Alma Mater praise, our Alma Mater praise.

Her graduates are strong and firm, and build both hearth and home;

Her sons and daughters will each turn back to her altars roam.

And there will bend and bow and pray, until a shrine they raise.

And their dear Alma Mater praise, their Alma Mater praise.

William F. Heilman

FERPA

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records.  The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.  Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student’s education record.  However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions:

School officials with a legitimate educational interest; Other schools to which a student is transferring; Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student; Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school; Accrediting organizations; To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena; Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific state law. To obtain further information regarding FERPA, please refer to the school calendar.
