Regina Foucault -

Gina truly excels in her role, particularly in managing all aspects of student attendance. She handles a complex, detail-oriented system with efficiency, accuracy, and consistency. Whether communicating with families, tracking attendance data, or ensuring records are properly maintained, Gina approaches each responsibility with professionalism and care.

Beyond attendance, Gina is often the first point of contact for students in need of behavioral support. She works with students in a calm, steady, and respectful manner, helping to de-escalate situations and guide them toward positive outcomes. Her ability to remain composed and supportive, even in challenging moments, has a meaningful impact on our school climate.

Gina is a key cog in our daily operations. The school runs more smoothly because of her organization, reliability, and commitment to students. She takes pride in her work and is proud to be a Whippet — and we are lucky to have her on our team."

Cory Bunger -

Cory has gone above and beyond in his role, demonstrating exceptional dedication, adaptability, and teamwork during a particularly demanding period for our kitchen operations. This winter, he played a critical role in relocating our dry storage and freezer systems to prepare for the construction project. Throughout the process, Cory ensured the transition was smooth and efficient, minimizing disruptions and maintaining high standards for safety and food service operations. He also stepped up in a major way while the kitchen was short-staffed, seamlessly assuming additional responsibilities, consistently maintaining a positive attitude, and ensuring daily operations continued to run smoothly. His willingness to go above and beyond for his team and for our students has not gone unnoticed. We truly appreciate all that he does for WHS and are grateful to have him as part of our team.

Ava Van Daele received an exemplary soloist award. It is the highest honor you can receive at state. We had 25 events receive a first this year but tons of first are handed out every state.
