"Senior Survivors"

Tonight was the Junior Student and Parent College Information Night. The focus of the evening was a panel presentation by senior students who have survived their senior year and are nearing the end of their high school career. The students shared about their experiences in college applications and successfully navigating the adventures of senior year. I was INCREDIBLY impressed with the student panel. The participants did an outstanding job giving honest viewpoints about the upcoming year for the juniors and their parents.
A very special thank you to (left to right) Rachael Mains, Ethan Dixius, Dave Reinbolt, Colleen Hile, Courtney Green, and Mark Bobson for their participation on the "Senior Survivor" panel. These students represented a variety of different college choices - different sizes of schools in different areas of the country. More importantly, though, they represented WKHS in a poised and helpful manner.

I was also excited to see so many of "my" juniors in the audience along with your parents. Hopefully you were able to gain helpful insight from those who have walked this path and you feel ready and excited to take on your senior year. Remember, I am always here to help you in any way that I can because I care a great deal about you and your experience along the “senior year journey.”

One last final thanks to Ethan and Mark. I appreciate your help more than you will ever really know!
