Our commitment to SIC excellence will continue to grow during the 2018-2019 school year. In addition to supporting our 2017-2018 goals, we will expand our growth in the areas of Latino Outreach and Wellness. We have partnered with the WHS Soccer Teams and the Walhalla Recreation Department to sponsor a Wellness Fair to be held at the soccer field in downtown Walhalla on February 9th, 2019. This event will feature a variety of organizations that provide resources to support health and wellness in our community. Additionally, we will be hosting a Children’s Book Drive to distribute free books to children and families at this event.
The WHS SIC is dedicated to promoting a positive school culture where all students and families feel welcome and involved in the educational experience at Walhalla High School. We welcome you to Walhalla High School and we invite and encourage your input and involvement with SIC.
