What A Week!!
This past week at school has been nothing short of a whirlwind of activity and energy. From classes to late-afternoon, early morning and weekend extracurriculars, our school has been a hive of constant motion and engagement. The school halls have been lively with the sounds of discussions, smiles, and the occasional burst of laughter during breaks. The week was marked by a series of exciting events, including two assemblies, a field trip, a scholastic meet, community service and the anticipation of State Cheer Competition approaching.
The school and community has demonstrated remarkable support of our students, organizations, and teams as we continue to do our part to make not only ourselves but our school and community the best that it can be. As we approach a new week, there is a sense of accomplishment and camaraderie, knowing that we've navigated through a busy week filled with opportunities for learning and personal growth and look forward to another week of opportunities as we fix our eyes on Thanksgiving Break! Thank you, Savage Nation, for supporting us in all that we do!
Happy Veterans Day!
Friday was an extremely busy day! We were blessed in the morning by the Student Council's Veterans Day Assembly that was truly honoring to our Veterans. They finished out the morning by hosting a luncheon for all of the Veterans in attendance. After lunch the Junior class had the privilege of assisting the community with the distribution of flags at Oaklawn Cemetery. These students made me so proud, they never once complained, were always respectful and worked hard to get the flags put out! I can't thank them enough! ❤️🤍💙
Generation Why!
On Wednesday, our students had the special treat of getting to attend an assembly put on by Generation Why. All the members of Generation Why aim to motivate every generation by revealing their purpose and providing opportunities to pursue it. Generation Why is a collective of creative artists of multiple mediums (dancing, rapping, and spoken word) and combats the topic of anti-bullying and brings awareness to the ever growing rates of suicide. Since launching in 2017, Generation Why has taken the message of hope and purpose to over 100 schools and variety of other special events.
I think that it is safe to say that this was by far the favorite assembly that we have had the opportunity to attend. It was very high energy, which both staff and students loved. The messages by all members of the team were positive and dealt with finding your purpose as well as staying consistent with what you believe in and creating a better self, school and community! As you can tell from the pictures, there were lots of laughs and smiles!

Life Skills
So often I see things on social media that say that our students today need less of a certain subject and more "life skill" training. In my opinion, they need both. While academic subjects provide a foundation for critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills, life skills education addresses the everyday challenges that individuals encounter outside the classroom. High school is a pivotal time when students are on the cusp of adulthood, and imparting these life skills ensures that they are well-prepared to navigate the complexities of the real world.
We were super excited last year when we were able to bring Family & Consumer Science back (Home Ec to you parents :). This year has been no exception, our students are learning life skills that they are going to need to provide for themselves and their future families. Thank you, Mrs. Rose for always going the extra mile to make sure our students are prepared...and for the yummy treats that your students bring us everyday! 😀
Aeronautics News!
Last week our Aeronautics I and Aeronautics II classes got the chance to travel to the 45 Infantry Museum! A spectacular collection of military artifacts is housed at the 45th Infantry Division Museum in Oklahoma City. Exhibits in the museum present these fascinating objects to narrate the military history of Oklahoma’s own 45th Infantry Division of the National Guard, also known as the Thunderbirds. The museum highlights other aspects of American military history as well.
The museum showcases intriguing exhibits such as the Reaves Firearm Collection, in which basic infantry and cavalry weapons from the Revolutionary War to the Vietnam War are displayed. One of the most important items in the collection is the Mosby Cannon, a Confederate cannon that was captured by the Union army in 1863 during the Civil War. Over 200 World War II cartoons by 45th Infantry Division soldier Bill Mauldin, most produced from 1944 to 1945, reside in the museum. The Hall of Flags features exhibits that narrate Oklahoma’s early military history, beginning with the history of its forts. Outside on the grounds of the 45th Infantry Division Museum is Thunderbird Park. Some of the larger artifacts of Oklahoma’s military history are located there, including tanks, aircraft and large guns. The 45th Infantry Division Monument rises up in the park 40 feet high and honors the men of the division who served in both World War II and the Korean War.
Thank you Mrs. Goodknight and Ms. Callaway for giving our Aeronautics students the opportunity to visit the museum!
Future Farmers of America!
The FFA has had a very busy few days as well! They sponsored a Halloween Party, assisted with the elementary school's Math and Literacy Night, worked on class projects and put flags out around town for Veterans Day! Thank you so much for all that you do!
Attention Seniors & Parents!!
Senior Parent/Student FAFSA Meeting will be November 13 at 6:00 pm in the WHS Cafeteria. If your child is planning to attend college and is filling out scholarship applications, FAFSA needs to be completed. Kirk Rushing will be here to answer any questions you have about FAFSA and paying for college. It is important for you to be here as there are several changes that affect the application process this year.
