🌟 Last night at WHHS, the 2025 Unsung Hero Recipient Dinner was held, celebrating the incredible individuals who make a difference every day in our schools.
Each school selected its very own unsung hero—from security guards and secretaries to teachers, speech pathologists, and more. No matter the position, every member of West Haven Public Schools plays a vital role in shaping the lives of our students and supporting our community.
We are proud to work alongside such dedicated professionals who care deeply about the education and well-being of our youth. Last night was a special opportunity to recognize and honor their hard work and commitment. 🙌
Stay tuned for an upcoming article highlighting this event!
8th Grade Open House Night at West Haven High School was a great success. We had an excellent turnout from students and their families who had the chance to experience what WHHS is all about.
The evening kicked off in the auditorium with performances from our news crew, dance team, and drama club, along with virtual contributions from our band and chorus. Presentations followed, highlighting key areas like our business and athletic programs.
Staff showcased academic departments and clubs throughout the building, and our peer advocates did a great job guiding tours.
Friendly reminder that tickets must be purchased by tomorrow May 13th for the 2025 Unsung Hero Recipients Dinner!
