A tab for Whitehall High School seniors was added to the WHS website, whitehallcoplay.org/Domain/12. This tab will be updated through the spring regarding important information pertaining to the graduation ceremony, senior event night, senior awards, athletic awards, cap and gown distribution, resource drop-off and the senior questionnaire.
Just a friendly reminder to fill out the senior questionnaire located on the high school website under the senior drop-down box. It is imperative this is filled out, especially for seniors who need a final transcript sent to a college or university. If you do not fill this out, your final transcript will not be sent.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact your counselor or Mrs. Lewis/Mrs. Bachman in the counseling office.
