ACT Testing (11th Grade only)
WHS will be sending ACT updates via Skyward the week of February 21st in anticipation of the ACT exam at WHS on Tuesday, March 8th. The ACT is an important statewide assessment that not only expands post secondary opportunities for your student but also provides important academic information WHS staff can utilize to better serve our students and community. Please encourage your student to make the most of this opportunity by preparing for the ACT using their MyACT account and doing their very best on exam day. Stay tuned for updates!
As a result, ALL 11th grade students will attend school on Tuesday, March 8, 2022. Students in grades 9, 10, and 12 will NOT have school on Tuesday, March 8, 2022.
