Welcome to the Falcon Family, Gavin! Mr. Harold will be a Social Studies teacher for the 2023-2024 school year. Please help give him a warm welcome!
FBLA had such a great showing of students who placed in the top 3 in the state that have the opportunity to compete Nationally this year! We have 5-6 students that could attend this year. To see the effort these students put in, we know we have to continue to support these kids and make sure they get the opportunity to compete Nationally. It is just such a wonderful growth experience for our students. These students have put in endless hours to make quality projects and presentations to compete at the State and National levels. If you would like to help out and sponsor a student's costs to get there any amount is welcome and we are always grateful for our community support! If you wish to support these students in any way please send your donations to Miss Martin at the school or contact me at mary.martin@whfalcons.org.
