Academic Signing Day

This morning about 25 WKHS seniors participated in the academic signing day ceremony. Students are given the opportunity to participate in this ceremony if they have been awarded $4,000 in academic, merit or fine art scholarships. ($4,000 one time or $1,000 renewable for 4 years) Each student came onto the stage and announced the scholarship they had received, where they would be attending college and offered their thanks to people who have helped them during their high school career. This group of students have accepted over a million dollars in scholarships!  This clearly shows that hard work and dedication in high school pays off in big ways.  Congratulations on your accomplishments!

9 of "my students" were among those honored.  A special congratulations to (L to R): Mackenzie Calvert, ChaRon Booker, Andrew Cook, Alex Cash, Bailey Andrews, Eleanor Donaldson, Micah Vincent, Erica Chen and Joey Coogan.  I am so proud of each of you and grateful that I had the opportunity to work with you over the last 4 years!
