All students in grades 9-11 and their parents/guardians are invited to join the WHS Counseling Center for our annual College Planning Night.

Whether students are heading to vocational programs or two-year or four-year colleges, this evening will provide you with the steps you can take now and in the future to prepare for the admission process, and the transition to college.
The evening will begin with grade-specific opening sessions, as well as a session in Spanish. After the opening, we will have breakout sessions discussing financial aid, NCAA eligibility, earning college credit through AP and dual credit courses, college entrance exams, a college admission counselor panel discussion, and more.
