Does your family bank at GESA Credit Union?
If YES - please consider getting the official WV RAMS Debit Card (it only takes 5 minutes in the branch) and using it to show your RAM PRIDE!
Even better, GESA makes a donation to WVHS every time this card gets used - what a partnership!

If you want to see the most current SPORTS Schedules for the RAM teams, use the RAM ATHLETICS page.
YOU NEED YOUR SCHOOL ID or ASB EVERY DAY! If you don't have one and need it - $5 to replace it.
Carry the Card in your wallet or phone case.
Get the Skyward App so you can use the photo ID in the app (see How To Do HS Things for help.)
Take a picture of your card that you can easily find and use.
For some events the ACTUAL CARD is required, so best practice is to have it with you at all times.
If the office lets you go to get something from your car - DON'T ABUSE THAT PRIVILEDGE. Get back in less than 10 minutes and don't make it a habit. Thank You!
REMINDER: WVHS is a closed campus (see handbook). Students are not allowed to check-out for lunch. We do not allow food delivery services on campus during the school day.
