"Senior Survivors"

Last night 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 impressed with the information and insight shared by the student panelists. 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) Kenzie Haines, Meredith Ulle, Riley Brehm, Brad Friedman, Michelle Endsley, and Ally Good 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 now 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 Riley for helping with the presentation. I appreciate your help more than you know!
