Cougar Alumni
Cougar Essentials
WCA awards students monthly who exemplify character traits throughout the month. Each month has a different trait. We want to encourage our students to be strong examples of great character in school and beyond. We celebrate these traits through our Cougar Awards. The essential character traits are what we want to instill in our students in order for them to grow-up to be the adults that will serve this world better!
