From the Principal's Desk
Zebra Nation,
I hope that you had an amazing long weekend!
The 2nd Semester is now upon us! Make sure that you are prepared for the 2nd Semester.... Are your classes changing? Know your new classes by the Hours.... What room you are going to? Who is your teacher? Your 4th Hour teacher determines your lunch. Is your lunch changing? Know what lunch you go to.
Are you a Career Tech Student? If you are.... the transportation times are changing -
- For our 'am' CT Students: Your bus leave time from WMHS to CT is 7am. Your bus back to WMHs will be at 10am. You should come through the main office doors and report to the cafeteria until the first lunch starts.
- For our 'pm' CT Students: You have first lunch, you should stay in the cafeteria, until your bus comes to take you to CT at 11:00am. You should exit out of the cafeteria doors to get on your bus. You will be brought back to WMHS at the end of the day at 1:50pm.
You got this! We got you! #StrongerTogether
Have a great week!

Save the Date:
We ask everyone to kindly set aside the date of our first semester banquet - Thursday, February 6, 2025 at 6pm at Wayne Tree Manor. Once results are announced, the RSVP turn around time is quick - so try to get an idea if you might be able to attend.
Semester 1 Results:
Champions kindly asks everyone to remember that we do not receive access to their grades in MiStar until the same time asthe students. We encourage people to refrain from emailing us about if they have met their goal or not, as responding takes additional time away from focusing on the results. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Semester 2 Goals:
As we await the first semester results, it is not too early to start thinking about goals for the new semester. Attached you will find the second semester goal sheet (for first semester participants) as well as the full contract for anyone looking to join Champions this semester. We will have hard copies in our office as well.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to email us at tgccow@gmail.com or visit us in room 110.
