The program offers a unique opportunity for young people to explore interests in law enforcement through police academy style training at the Monmouth County Police Academy from July 7th to July 11th.

Scoir is a solution for students, supporters, counselors, and colleges focused on finding the right fit through a unified college search and planning network. This platform connects students to a powerful set of tools to help them identify their talents, search for their college fit, plan with their supporters, and apply when ready. As a parent/guardian, you play an integral role on Scoir by providing your student(s) with college suggestions, financial information, and general guidance.

On Friday, May 2, 2025, the High School hosted its first Unified Sports banquet to celebrate the accomplishments of this year's Unified team.

Unified Sports is a program developed by Special Olympics that brings together individuals with and without intellectual disabilities to train and compete on the same team. The goal of Unified Sports is to promote inclusion, understanding, and mutual respect through shared sports experiences. By emphasizing teamwork and collaboration, the program helps break down stereotypes and build friendships among athletes of all abilities.

Please be advised, WHS will not accept food deliveries from services such as DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, etc. for students in our school. While we understand the convenience these services provide, they create significant disruptions within our main office. More importantly, allowing outside food/lunch deliveries raises concerns about the safety and security of our students and staff.

Please note: Parents and guardians are still permitted to drop off lunch for students who may have forgotten their meals. However, we ask that you coordinate these drop-offs directly through our main office to ensure a smooth process.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we prioritize the well-being and security of our school community.

Mr. Davis
