Regardless of venue, students will need to arrive at WHS by 9:15 a.m. The graduation venue will be open to families at the same time.

A decision regarding tomorrow's outside graduation ceremony will be sent to senior families by 3:30 p.m. tomorrow. As a reminder, if we cannot hold the ceremony outside on Friday, graduation will be moved to 10 am on Saturday. Should we be forced inside, the ceremony will be held in the WHS auditorium. Each student received two tickets, allowing two people of their choosing to enter the auditorium. Other guests are welcome to view the live stream of the ceremony in our gymnasium or cafeteria on a first-come, first-served basis.
