At WHS, we are committed to provide leadership training and experiences for ALL students. Current leadership programs include conferences in the traditional sense, along with a conference targeted at under-represented students. An important leadership program we are developing is a community-mentor program, where WHS students and community members work together. By developing a relationship with an adult in the community, the students gain knowledge and experience to help their transition from student to contributing citizen.
