The juniors all showed up early today and rocked their ACT. Each one of them worked hard and stayed focused during a very long and difficult test. We are proud of your efforts! Thank you Wilcox Community Church for letting us use your space!

Falcon Nation:
Our latest round of winter weather has reduced our projected number of school hours below the requirement of 1080 hours set by the Nebraska Department of Education. After confirming with NDE today, WHPS will work to meet this requirement by extending our Friday schedule, ending our school day with a 3:30 dismissal like we do M-TH. We will be doing this, every Friday, for the remainder of the year, starting March 28. Bus routes on Fridays will look just like they do on the M-Th schedule.
Here are the activities for the upcoming week! The golf team will have their first competition of the spring Thursday at Overton, and Friday we host our track invite! A full schedule of events for the track meet will be posted later in the week.
***Updated to include FCA 5th Quarter meal and event Monday evening***
Juniors, please check your emails for all of the information you will want to know about Tuesday's ACT. Thanks!
Juniors will be taking the ACT on Tuesday. Please report to the Community Church at 7:30 am-7:45 am for breakfast. The test will start at 8 am. Lunch will be provided, and then they will be dismissed for the rest of the day after the test and registration are completed. We will register for the test tomorrow.
Fourth Grade had the annual Lemonade & Treat Sale today where they raised money for the college bound Seniors. Our future collegiates will soon compete for the proceeds in the form of a scholarship created by the 4th graders. It's one of the best days of the school year!!!!
Our sophomores and juniors are taking advantage of the Chad Cargill ACT presentation. Chad presents tips and tricks for doing well on the ACT. What a great opportunity for our students!
Reminder... All sophomores and juniors will be attending the Chad Cargill workshop tomorrow. We will leave the high school at 8 am and return by 12. You just need a calculator and something to write with. Thanks!
Spring Sports Pictures are tomorrow afternoon, Friday, March 21st!
