Commended Students in the 2027 National Merit Scholarship Program

I am excited to announce our seniors who have been named as Commended Students in the 2027 National Merit Scholarship Program. Commended students are recognized for the exceptional academic promise demonstrated by their outstanding performance on the 2025 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) last October. Please join me in congratulating the following WSHS students:

Aidan Csank
Katherine Kuhns
Abigail Racey
Hailey Tran
Alexander Wong

Congratulations to our PWCS America 250 Bookmark Contest Winner!

Congratulations to Saya Sharon for being one of the 20 winners of the PWCS America 250 Bookmark Contest. Inspired by the theme, "Our Shared Story: 250 Years of Building America Together," students created original bookmark designs reflecting America's history, values, people, and future.

After School Tutoring (Starting September 29)

📣 Attention Students!

If you need extra support in Math, English, Science, History, or Spanish, help is available! Come to the library on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 2:20 PM to get the academic assistance you need. No need to sign up, just show up! Students should report to the library upon arrival, where they will be directed to the correct location based on the subject in which they need assistance. If you need help in more than one subject, that's perfectly fine. You may move between subjects once you have finished receiving help in each area.

⚠️ Important: Students will not be permitted to remain in the library or other areas simply to study independently or work with friends. This year, sessions are designated for after-school tutorials, so students must be actively receiving academic assistance from staff.

🚍 After-school buses are provided for students residing in the WSHS district, so transportation will not be an issue.

Take advantage of this opportunity to get the support you need, stay on track, and succeed! 📚✨

World Language Credit by Assessment Nominations Open

Volunteer Opportunity for Senior Interview Days

Our annual Senior Interview Days are about a month away, and we are looking for community members to interview our seniors and provide some helpful feedback. Each year we hear from students how helpful it was to practice with community volunteers before heading out for job and scholarship interviews.

If you are interested and able to help us have a successful event with the Class of 2027, please take a look at the details and openings below:

Dates: Thursday, October 15 and Friday, October 16

The Viking Deli will serve:

AM breakfast bites and hot/cold beverages

PM lunch and a beverage

Each interviewer will have the interview questions and will be given a feedback form. Each interview will be 5-8 minutes. When finished a staff member will send over another student to be interviewed.

Please open this form to see volunteer time options. If you have any questions, please feel free to send an email to our librarians:
