We’re so proud of Elise Hussey, who has been named a 2027 National Merit Semifinalist! Elise's hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence have earned her this incredible honor. We’re lucky to have her representing WJHS, and we can’t wait to see what’s ahead for her!

A big THANK YOU to our bus drivers who follow procedures every day to protect our students and get them where they need to go safely! Additionally, a reminder to all drivers: Kentucky has a new school bus law. Take a moment to review the information below and know when you’re required to stop for a school bus. #kysafeschoolsweek #strongrootssafeschools

A safe school is about more than a building—it’s about having people you can turn to. Our Student Services Team is always here for our Colts. Whether a student needs someone to listen, help work through a problem, or connect them with support, our team is ready to show up and help. We’re grateful for the people who make sure our students know: you are seen, you are supported, and you don’t have to navigate things alone. #kysafeschoolsweek

What a great day at our Annual College & Career Fair where our students connected with over 53 colleges, universities, trade schools, military branches, employers, and student resource organizations as they explored what’s next after high school. Huge thank you to everyone who helped make today possible—and to all of our representatives for investing in our students and their futures! More photos here: https://bit.ly/4iZpo8c
