We help with freshman orientation, senior activities, and fun incentives like gift cards to recognize Academic Excellence, Attendance Improvement, Academic Improvement, Reading Challenges, and more. We endeavor to create a sense of community and belonging with celebrations like Hot Cocoa Day and Valentine Carnations Day. We offer extra social opportunities through spirit nights at local venues. With continued family support, we hope to once again help to provide for resources and additional student needs, just as we did before the pandemic.

Please let other WGHS parents, students, teachers, families, and friendly supporters know that membership is only $5.00 for the year. Attendance at meetings is encouraged but not mandatory. Whether you are able to attend, volunteer, and participate a lot, or a just a little, we appreciate you. Your membership and support mean a great deal!
