Warhawk Culture

Warhawks, today we proudly celebrated the season of giving—and what a celebration it was. Through the incredible generosity of our students, staff, families, and community partners, we were able to fulfill the wish lists of 80 Westerville children this holiday season. Together, we raised an outstanding $10,316.65!

A BIG thank-you goes out to Mrs. Horn, our Key Club, and our amazing Key Club student officers: Kaya Amin, Gloria Bui, Avery Long, Caleb Ofosu, Candice Pho, and Lilly Warden, as well as our entire Warhawk community for modeling what it truly means to be Better Together. Your compassion and commitment made this year’s Caring & Sharing goal possible.

We were also grateful to have our ASL teachers, Judith Mair and Jessie Day, along with their students, join us on stage to interpret during the program. Additionally, a huge thank-you to Ms. Fahning, Mr. Vermeulen, Jazz Central, and our Orchestra for providing the amazing music that elevated today’s assembly.

Top Five Flytime Donors

We also celebrated some friendly competition as we recognized our top five Flytimes for their contributions:

1st Place: Mr. Shawver’s Flytime – $660
2nd Place: Ms. Martin’s Flytime – $621
3rd Place: Mr. Coleman’s Flytime – $605
4th Place: Mrs. Cargin’s Flytime – $432
5th Place: Mr. James’ Flytime – $346

Thank you again to everyone who contributed. Your generosity brought joy to families across Westerville and demonstrated, once more, that when Warhawks come together, we can accomplish incredible things.

Better Together. Always.

WINGS UP !

School Clinic

Hello Warhawk Families!

Freshmen Vision/ Hearing Screenings

Parents of freshmen,we will be screening your student this month as required by the Ohio Department of Health. If your student does not pass, or is unable to complete the vision or hearing screenings for any reason, you will receive a referral letter by email. These screenings do not replace recommended examinations by eye care specialists, audiologists, or your student's primary care provider.

Not feeling well??

Yes, it has arrived…. “that” season. Please keep your students home when they are too ill to participate normally in their school day, or if a fever, excessive coughing, or vomiting is present. Students are required to stay home until they are fever free for 24 hours without taking medication to treat the fever. Tests, projects, and assignments can be completed once they are feeling better. Sharing germs is inevitable, but your efforts in helping contain the spread when your child is ill is appreciated!

Parents of JUNIORS

Your student will need the REQUIRED Meningitis MCV4 booster before their senior year next fall. Proof of vaccination or a signed exemption form is required by the 15th day of school or your child may need to stay home until one of these are completed.

Questions? Please reach out!
