As the new millennium began, WCI transformed once again. This time, the change was digital. Computers, cell phones, projectors, and email started becoming part of everyday school life. But it wasn’t just technology that changed—new cultures, fresh ideas, and innovative ways of learning arrived too.
Classrooms no longer relied only on chalkboards. Now, they included computers, projectors, and internet access. Students began doing research online, submitting digital assignments, and learning in new ways. This decade saw the rise of robotics clubs, digital design groups, and video editing workshops.
WCI has always been a diverse school, but in the 2000s, that diversity was celebrated more than ever. More and more students from different cultural backgrounds shared their traditions, food, and customs. The multicultural events held in the gym became a favorite part of the school year.
During this decade, students started bringing their cell phones to school (even if they had to hide them sometimes). They wore wide jeans, big backpacks, and listened to music on their iPods. The photos from this era show groups of friends in the hallways, school concerts, and fun spontaneous moments.
The 2000s marked a time of modernization. WCI became more global, more inclusive, and more technologically advanced, without losing its essence. The memory of this decade lives on in our alumni... and on their social media!
One of the most memorable parts of WCI’s story is the people who have been part of it for so long. Mr. Menhennet is a great example. He started teaching at WCI during the 2000s, and over 20 years later, he’s still here! Today, he continues to teach Geography with the same passion and dedication as when he first arrived. Many students across generations remember his classes, his stories, and his great sense of humor. His presence reminds us how strong the WCI community truly is.
