Healthy Youth Survey: Adjusted Schedule on Wednesday 10/8

WHS will offer the Washington State Healthy Youth Survey to all 10th and 12th graders on Wednesday, October 8th during the designated assembly time in the Schoolwide Connections Schedule. All students participating in Running Start or Tech Center classes, please check the alternate schedule and plan accordingly to make sure you attend your classes on time.

The Healthy Youth Survey includes questions related to physical activity, unintentional and intentional injury, substance use, interpersonal relationships, school experiences, risk and protective factors, and access to school-based services. Survey results are used by schools, communities, and State agencies to plan programs to support our youth and reduce their risks. Participation in the survey is voluntary and steps are taken to ensure student privacy. Learn more about the HYS on the WSD website.
