Principal

Greetings!

I'm sure that many of you will join me in wondering where the academic year has gone. It seems like only yesterday that we were starting school. Our students have accomplished some fantastic things so far this year. We are the City Champs in Boys' Cross Country, Girls' Cross Country, Girls' Golf, Boys' Swim, and Boys' Bowling; we are the Centennial League Champions in Boys' Soccer, Volleyball, Girls' Cross Country, Girls' Bowling, and Boys' Basketball; and we are Regional or Sub-State Champions in Girls' Tennis, Volleyball, Boys' Soccer, Girls' Cross Country, Girls' Bowling, and Boys' Bowling. Kevin Bordewick-Volleyball, Matt Swedlund-Cross Country, and Brian Hensyel-Soccer, all were named Centennial League Coach of the Year. In addition, we have three State Boys' Wrestling Champs: Landen Kocher-Munoz 138 lb. weight class, Easton Broxterman 144 lb. weight class, and Kristjan Marshall 157 lb. weight class. I have every confidence that we will finish the school year as strongly as it has unfolded. In keeping with that belief, I would again like to share some information with you that will assist in helping your child bring a successful conclusion to their academic year.

If your child is experiencing problems in any of their classes, our counselors are more than willing to provide assistance. A multitude of services exist at WRHS that the counselors can help coordinate with you and your child. If individual attention from the teacher and other interventions proves ineffective in solving your challenges, your child may be referred for further intervention through our Student Intervention Team (SIT). The SIT is a group of trained educational professionals, and you, of course, who will conduct a comprehensive analysis of your child's academic progress and habits. After the evaluation is complete, intervention may be recommended to address academic performance issues. Fortunately, most problems can be effectively resolved through this process. For those that aren't, our counselors will be happy to discuss more aggressive options with you. For your convenience, I have listed them below.

Leslie Fischer (339-4117): Responsible for students whose last names are A-D
Keith Wetzel (339-4116): Responsible for students whose last names are E-J
Emilio Chavez (339-4103): Responsible for students whose last names are K-O
Michelle Pegram-Caporusso (339-4911): Responsible for students whose last names are P-T
Marie Coates (339-4118): Student Services
Marcie Frederickson (339-4115): Responsible for students whose last names are U-Z
Riley Nelson (339-4119): Responsible for students in B-3 Alternative Education

Also on the horizon are a couple of school events that I want to bring your attention to.

One of the most anticipated evenings of the entire year is fast approaching for our juniors and seniors and their guests! Prom will be held in the Townsite Avenue Ballroom on Saturday, April 12 from 8:00-11:00 PM. After prom activities, which are sponsored by the WRHS PTO Blues Backers, are currently scheduled to begin at 11:30 PM at WRHS. This is a very special time for our school, and I hope you will join me in encouraging your students to make good decisions for themselves.

Graduation will occur at 5:30 PM on Sunday, May 18, 2025 at the Stormont Vail Events Center.

As always, if you have questions about any of these items, please feel free to call me.
