Hey ladies, do you have a lonely dress taking up space in your closet? Don't let that dress go to waste! Bring it to the Dress Exchange!

Green Team is collecting any and all dresses of dress-ups past. If you have a dress you no longer want, say, from previous proms, homecomings, or banquets, then bring it by Ms. Keo's room, K-204, so we can find it a new home! Likewise, if you're looking for a dress for prom or banquet, but you don't want to drop the money on yet another dress, come shopping in K204!

Students from Mr. Herring’s Advanced Engineering class recently toured Jamak Fabrication. They were given the opportunity to see all of the manufacturing processes that Jamak has on site followed by a presentation by the Director of Product Develoment, Brian Thornburg. It was a great experience and WHS CTE is so appreciative of the time given by all of the employees of Jamak!

16,000 students state wide started the long and highly competitive audition process in September to earn a spot in one of the Texas Music Educators Association All State Choirs in February in San Antonio.

3 WHS Students made it this year. All three made All State last year as well.
