We are still seeking volunteers for the Co-President role for the 2022-2023 WHS PTSO Executive Board. Interested in learning more? Email PTSO President, Sarah Laybourn, at whsptsopres@gmail.com and/or attend the “Meet the PTSO” event on April 27 at 9 am in the WHS Faculty Dining Room.

The PTSO has been hard at work this year to streamline its operations and to get a head start on planning for next school year, making leadership roles during the 2022-2023 school year more manageable and rewarding than ever before. The PTSO provides important support to our school and our community but we can't do this without the involvement of volunteers.
