Amplify WHS!
The Weddington High School PTSO is raising $5,000 towards upgrading our auditorium sound system. This space hosts dozens of events each year—from Signing Day and athletic banquets to theater productions and the Talent Show. Our auditorium is the heart of our school and our current sound system is struggling to keep up with our impressive WHS talent. An upgraded sound system will improve the experience for students, families, teachers, and guests at every event held in the auditorium. We invite you to help support this important project. Thank you for investing in our students and helping their voices be heard!
