The Weekly Update - HSoC
May 5th - 9th, 2025
Quote for the Week
Some of y’all running on empty trying to pour into everybody else! Your battery low, your spirit low, and your energy low because you never stop to recharge.
Here’s what greatness requires:
✅ REST… is not weakness. Jesus rested. Even eagles retreat to soar higher.
✅ REFLECT…Meditation, prayer, silence. You can’t hear God’s strategy over the world’s noise.
✅ REBUILD….Invest in your body. Move. Eat right. Speak LIFE. Your health is your wealth.
And don’t forget, sometimes recharging just means being still with those you love. Hugging. Worshiping. Letting His Word renew your mind.

Graduation Ticket Information
Yes, there will be a limit on the number of guests each student may invite. However, there is no cost for graduation tickets. All graduating seniors are required to attend Graduation Practice on the morning of the ceremony at 10:00 a.m.. Upon completion of practice, students will receive their allotted tickets. At this time, we anticipate distributing five to six tickets per student. Please note that the graduating student will not need a ticket to attend the ceremony.
We highly encourage you to regularly visit our graduation information webpage, which is updated weekly and includes comprehensive details:
🔗 WISD Graduation Information
We are currently exploring options for potential overflow seating & a Online Steaming Option though nothing has been confirmed yet.
Additionally, we are waiting to finalize the number of students who will officially be participating in the ceremony. Once we have that confirmed, there is a possibility that the ticket allotment per student may increase.
We are also considering other options that could potentially allow for additional guest seating. Our approach is to remain cautious and realistic—it is far better to promise fewer tickets now and increase that number later, rather than overpromise and risk needing to reduce availability.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we finalize these details.
Items Not Permitted at Graduation Ceremony
High School of Choice
We are an alternative high school, designed to help at-risk students achieve their goals of high school graduation and beyond. HSoC supports students through rigorous, innovative, and engaging learning experiences. Every student will be empowered to fiercely navigate their world with resilience, purpose, courage, humility, and pride.
Academic Performance and Effort
It is an expectation that all High School of Choice (HSoC) students put forth the effort to reach their maximum potential. Academic excellence is achieved by challenging yourself to improve on every assignment or task you encounter.
