Greetings Viking Sports Fans! Fort Thomas has graciously offered (and we accepted) to move tip off from 7 pm to 5pm! This will allow for our Vikings to return home a few hours sooner from the very long trip to Fort Thomas (between Globe and Safford off Route 70). The date, location, everything else remains unchanged. Just the time change. (2/15/20 @ Ft. Thomas HS @ 5pm)! #GoVikes #AIA365 #MaxPreps

Attention WHS Juniors & Seniors: This Thursday (2/13) WHS will be administering the ASVAB to all 11th grade students & any 12th grade students who signed up for it from 8-11:30 in the WHS Gym. The 11th grade students have the ability to have their parents opt them out of this test. If a student is opted out then they will attend their regular classes as scheduled. While the ASVAB is used for military placement, it can also be used for career exploration. Our counselor Mr. Powers will be attending training soon to hone in his skills in using this test in a non-military way to help undecided students explore many different (other) career opportunities. jpowers@wusd2.org
