2017-2018: Episode 3
The Annual Glen Doherty road race and fund raiser was this past Sunday, 9/23/17. http://www.glendohertyfoundation.org/ Our WHS Chorus was honored to be selected to sing the National Anthem at the road race.
2017-2018 Open House Our 2017-2018 WHS Open House is Thursday, September 28th, at 7 PM. We are proud to say that this will be the first ‘Open House’ in our ‘New House’! We will begin promptly in the auditorium at 7 pm. Our teams and clubs will be set up in the dining commons for their traditional fundraising efforts. You can purchase all your 2017-2018 Sachem spirit gear from these groups! Worried about getting lost in the new WHS? Our Student PALs will be available to guide you to your destinations. But, this is a great time to have a conversation with your student(s) at home and ask them to teach you the layout of the school and the pattern of their daily school day. We look forward to seeing you on September 28th at 7 PM! Please know that we are aware of the conflict with the football game that evening. The game was moved to accommodate the religious holiday observance. The dates for Open House are set during the summer across the district and cannot be moved. With a big busy school with many events, conflicts are an unfortunate inevitability. We try our best to avoid them, but they do occur.
Just in case that conversation doesn’t happen, here is a great “footprint” layout for you of our newly finished WHS. This should help you navigate during our upcoming open house.

One last bit of kudos for our field hockey team, who was featured on channel 5 last night.
