New Classes

Each year the staff of WKHS are working not only to make sure that all students have the best possible experiences in your current classes, but also to anticipate the future needs and interests of students and to adjust or develop new classes that will interest our students.  As an outcome of this there are several new courses which may interest students.

American Multicultural Studies - this is a Social Studies elective course available to students in grades 10, 11 and 12.  A wide range of topics related to African American History, Native American History, and Hispanic History will be combined together to provide an engaging look at current events and how the past has helped shaped where we are today.

IB Psychology - this is another Social Studies elective course and is available to students in grades 11 and 12.  IB Psychology will allow students the opportunity to study basic psychology principles more in depth and explore how we think and behave in the ways that we do.

College Credit Plus - College Courses being taught at WKHS are also expanding with the addition of Ethics, African American History, Physical Geology, Classical Mythology and Art History.  Please remember, if you are interested in taking any college courses next year you MUST attend the meeting at TWHS on Monday, February 8th at 7pm.
