Whitehall-Coplay School District is looking to gather input from the community to create a profile of a graduate. This process will be a collaborative effort and will culminate in a profile outlining the skills, competencies and character traits WHS graduates will utilize to achieve future success. This profile will serve as the vision, or guiding light, for WCSD decision making as it pertains to student learning experiences.

Visit WHS’ website and follow the link to share your input.
