Get involved and don't wait to start making HS memories!
STATE SOFTBALL NEWS! We are RAMPROUD of our team - and our first postseason this year!
Our RAMS play at Kiwanis Park at 9am on Friday. If you'd like to go, please have your PARENT or GUARDIAN excuse you from school that morning. Talk to your teachers BEFORE Friday so you can get what you will miss in class. If you are failing a class, we recommend you don't plan to miss it!
WIN: Play again at 5pm
LOSE: Play again at 1pm
Sadly, we will NOT be doing a Rooters Bus. Our student section's behavior at the end of the football game on Friday has stopped those plans from coming together. We are now in a position of having to show that we can trust our student section and that we won't be violating any other rules for fan behavior moving forward. As we learn of the consequences, we will pass those along and work with students who would like to help us keep a student section as an option for WVHS this year. We have to do better!
If you attend State Softball, please remember who you represent and be on your best behavior. There are so many ways to show our school spirit and support our teams without violating the rules and creating a potentially unsafe situation. Another violation at this point would have serious consequences for our student section for the rest of the school year.

WVHS CLUBS!
Need to add money to your lunch account?
CLICK HERE >>>>>>>
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.
