Mr. Ryan Elder's Carpentry class out at WHS are redesigning the trash bin area (located between the school and the practice fields) for two purposes. First, one side will be for football equipment storage. Second, the other side will be for storage of maintenance equipment for the grounds crew. Students involved with the hands-on construction project are Jack Heimer, Jessie Morrison, Mitch Gould and Blaze Marshall. Be the hammer gentlemen!!
The new track project began after school was out this past Spring and as of the middle of October, the project is nearly complete. The final markings have been applied, they need to cure for a week or so and then we just await the arrival of TRACK SEASON in the Spring! (It'll be here before you know it!)

I was privileged Thursday evening to sit in on a full dress rehearsal for the WHS Drama Department's upcoming Neil Simon production - "FOOLS". The Fall 2017 offering under the direction of first year Drama Instructor Jessica Coldwell is just absolutely superb. The stage setup, the costumes, the make-up, the sound, the special effects, the lighting, the stage crew and of course the actors and actresses nail it!
Four of the boys from the Horticulture class planted mums in the raised bed that was built by the Advanced Ag Welding students last year. On one side the bed says Horticulture and the other side reads WHS with two Crusader heads on it. The fall mums will help to brighten up the building as you come in. The other students in the horticulture class were busy pulling weeds and getting the greenhouse ready for the spring.
The 7th grade basketball team is selling WELLINGTON BASKETBALL gear to help fund a trip in January. The KNIGHTS will be traveling to watch a college game and learn about basketball at the next level. All of the clothing on the site below will say "Wellington Basketball" (FONT will be similar to "DUKES" font below) rather than Knights or Crusaders or Dukes. The team wants you to be able to wear any of the items to all events. Everything will be screen printed EXCEPT for polo shirts - those will be embroidered.
