This week, students in Mr. Dennison's Woodworking classes (and a few guests from our JMG class!) had the opportunity to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity. They helped build sheds for Project T, a new housing development in Benton Harbor on the site of the old Mercy Hospital. Students helped unload pre-build walls, set and squared them on concrete pads, and added sheathing to get the sheds ready for roofing and siding.
Monday we kick off college application month at WHS!

❤️🤍🐾 THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING HOMECOMING WEEK! 🐾🤍❤️
As we wrap up Homecoming, I want to take a moment to say a huge THANK YOU to all of the parents, class advisers, businesses, and community members who helped make last week such a great experience for our students!
There are countless hours of planning, float building, decorating, organizing, donating, transporting supplies, and working behind the scenes that most people never see. So many people gave their time, talents, resources, and support to help our students bring their ideas to life.
And it showed! ❤️
This year’s Homecoming was filled with incredible student participation, class pride, school spirit, and FUN! From the dress-up days and hallway decorations to the floats, windows, competitions, game, and dance, our students had an entire week of opportunities to connect with one another and make memories.
These experiences don’t happen without a community willing to show up for kids. Whether you spent hours helping build a float, donated materials or supplies, helped decorate, supported a class financially, or simply stepped in wherever you were needed—you helped make Homecoming special for our Panthers.
Some of you helped quietly behind the scenes, and I may not even know your names. Please know that your contribution mattered, and we are incredibly grateful.
Thank you for investing in our students and helping give them a Homecoming Week they will remember! This is what Panther Pride and community look like. ❤️🤍🐾
