Students in grades 9-12 can apply for a No Sweat scholarship, worth $2,500. This scholarship is very easy to apply for, hence the “no sweat” title. There are no grade-point average requirements, no minimum income requirements and no essays to write.

See the counseling website under Scholarships on the WCSD website, whitehallcoplay.org, for the link to apply. The deadline is Dec. 31.

***

Reminder: Whitehall-Coplay School District students will have early dismissal Dec. 23.

Schools will be closed Dec. 24-Jan. 3, 2022.

Have a happy and safe holiday season with family and friends.

***

High school yearbooks are currently on sale. They’re a great gift idea!

To purchase a yearbook, visit balfour.com and search Whitehall High School.

***

Educational trips are limited to seven school days per year. Any days missed for travel beyond the seven days of absence will be illegal days if the student’s age is 16 or younger.

The family educational trip request form, available in the school office, must be submitted to the office prior to departure.

The district prefers all trips be scheduled during the holiday break.
