BeMoore Award, January 2024

Congratulations to Genevieve Patterson, our BeMoore Award recipient for January, 2024.

Genevieve recently found a phone and attached to the phone was a wallet with cash. Without a second thought, she turned in the wallet and it was reunited with the person who was nervously searching for something that they thought might be gone forever. 
Genevieve, thank you for this great example of character and integrity.

Staff/Student of the Month for January, 2024

Grace Greer, Josh Johnson, and Michelle Reed worked collaboratively with retired Math teacher Kristine Bryant to lead and tutor students who took the Algebra I SOL test in December. As a result of their work, we had the highest pass rate for a winter testing session (math) and many students have now earned the verified math credit they needed for graduation.

Staff/Students of the Month for December, 2023

Tina DiGiacomo, Lynne Wooten-Mitchell, Julia Calli, Alexa McMillan have worked collaboratively to establish the NAMI club here at WSHS. As Julia and Alexa explained this morning, the goal of the club is to destigmatize mental illness and share resources for students who may struggle with mental health.
