Panther Pulse
June 13, 2025
Congratulations, Class of 2025!
Congratulations on over a decade of hard work, graduates! We're grateful to have been a part of your journey. Once a Panther, always a Panther!
Diploma pick-up for all graduates will be Thursday 6/26 & Friday 6/27 from 9 AM - 2 PM in the main office. Parents or guardians picking up a diploma for their student will need to show identification. Remember: all fines must be paid in full before your diploma can be released.
Here are a few snapshots from the ceremony on Friday night. All photos are publicly available on the WHS website. Download and use them however you'd like! We were also lucky enough to have Jeremy for MyWenatchee share his photos of the ceremony. Thank you for your hard work and continued support of our students!
2025 Fall Musical: Little Shop of Horrors
The WHS Drama & Choral Department are excited to announce that the 2025 fall musical will be Little Shop of Horrors! Come experience the sci-fi smash musical featuring the songs of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, including "Somewhere That's Green" and "Suddenly Seymour".
Auditions will be held after school starts, the week of September 8-12. All students in grades 9-12 are encouraged to audition! The show dates are November 13-15 and 20-22. Please watch for more detailed information to come out at the beginning of the school year.
Phone-Free Schools Proposal to be Presented to School Board on June 24
Pending approval from the school board this month, the Wenatchee School District will officially implement a phone-free learning environment beginning in the 2025-26 school year.
The proposal is in response to a survey conducted in Fall 2024 and focus groups consisting of parents & guardians from throughout the WSD. Because elementary and middle schools already follow a phone-free model, the biggest impact will be here, at Wenatchee High School. If approved, WHS students will be issued a Yondr pouch alongside their other school resources to restrict phone access during school hours.
For the full details about the WSD phone-free schools proposal, view the link to the district website below.
Final Forms to Replace Arbiter for Athletics Enrollment
Starting in the 2025-26 school year, the Wenatchee School District will switch from Arbiter to Final Forms for athletics clearance. Stay tuned for additional information coming this summer.
A current sports physical (valid for two years) and payment of ASB and associated fees are still required. Athletics/ASB fees can be paid at the ASB office or online via InTouch.
