WHS is an empowering academic community where all students are challenged to grow, learn, prosper, and realize their full personal, social, and intellectual potential, and to develop the life skills necessary to become respectful, responsible, and productive citizens of the global community.

WHS is proud to be designated as No Place for Hate. During the 2024-2025 school year, administrators, students, staff, and families will play a key role in actualizing the district’s No Place for Hate goals, plans and activities.
During the 2023-2024 school year, No Place for Hate’s implementation across schools started with staff awareness, the selection of No Place for Hate coordinators, and the introduction of No Place for Hate to students through instructional lessons focused on respect, empathy, kindness, acceptance, diversity, and inclusion.
Staff and students received invitations to serve as leaders in designing and cultivating meaningful opportunities and learning experiences centered on the district’s No Place for Hate efforts. Additionally, schools intentionally employed and continue to leverage existing student groups, literature, meetings, and assemblies focused on anti-bullying.
