Community Service Club
Mrs. Abel's Friday green block, community service club, has been sprucing up the neighborhoods in Washakie Co..
Community Services at the high school is reaching out and helping different community organizations so that our youth can see the vital role in shaping responsible, compassionate, and engaged citizens.
It fosters personal growth while addressing community needs, creating a positive cycle of benefit for both the WHS student and the community. Delanie Johnson signed up for this block for the block to give back. "I chose to do community service because I enjoy helping people in need. I also wanted to give back to my community because they have helped me a lot throughout my life. To me, community service means helping people and facilities with tasks that they aren't able to complete themselves. For example one block period we went to the community garden and picked weeds and sifted through a pile of soil. Mrs. Acey was very thankful when our class came to the garden because it would have taken her a long time to do all of the work by herself. Community service to me is also very rewarding, when I leave I feel like I accomplished something and helped everyone as well as I could."

FFA attends nationals
Mrs. G, as most students adress her by, hit the road early Sunday(Oct.20th), morning for Illinois to attend the national convention. A trip that all the officers look forward to. They stop along the way and catch up with alumni and former WHS students, sight see different places, go to Mrs. Godrey's favorite chocolate making busines, and this round went to Grant's Farm to see Clydesdale horses; where they got to get up close and personal with them! This trip was a memorable one for them, Chief Washakie was for the 1st time since 1990, recognized as a National Chapter, earning 2 stars. Chapters that receive a gold rating and are in the top 5 chapters by their state FFA Associations are eligible to compete for National FFA 3-star, 2-star or 1-star ratings. In addition to walking across the stage to receive their award, the officer team attended a leadership workshop, the first general session, the career fair and expo, and took four agricultural tours.
Bead war champion
Josh Hansen addresses the student body at the pep rally. His message was inspiring to our students. His talk was designed to energize everyone as we gear up for our upcoming state events.
Josh shared insights from his time in the service, emphasizing how those experiences relate to the challenges students face today. He provided practical strategies for overcoming obstacles in both sports and daily life, encouraging our students to clear the “threats” that hold them back. His powerful message aimed to motivate and empower them as they pursue their goals.
We’re excited to see the positive impact of his words on our students as they head into this important season!
