Seniors....can you believe that it is March already? Your time here at WCHS is quickly coming to an end. So is the deadline for applying for local scholarships! The Kosciusko County Community Foundation, along with some other local scholarships, have a March 15th deadline. That is less than a week away.

Speaking of running out of time, we still have about 100 seniors that have not yet ordered their cap and gown. If you plan to participate in commencement and walk across the stage with the Class of 2016 during the graduation ceremony, you must purchase a cap and gown from Herff Jones as soon as possible. Orders can be placed online at highschool.herffjones.com. If you have questions, stop by the guidance office.
