This morning we celebrated our seniors at our Senior Breakfast. Congratulations seniors and best of luck in all your future endeavors! #wearewapello #wapellotribepride
2021 Senior Spotlight: As the Seniors have their last day of school today, the Senior Spotlight is to Dawson Lee Holmes. He is the son of Jamie and Aaron Holmes. While in high school, Dawson has been involved in Track and Baseball for one year, and four years in Football and Basketball. Dawson is undecided on this plans after graduation, but sites Mr. Dunham as the teacher who has had the greatest impact on him. This is because “he helped me learn [through] a lot of hands on work.” Dawson’s advice to underclassmen is “Always listen to the teachers and turn work in on time.” Congratulations and best of luck in future.
Here is some important information regarding the Class of 21 Graduation Ceremonies scheduled for Sunday (5-23-21) afternoon. At this time, we are planning for an outdoor ceremony to be held at 2:00 p.m. at the Carl "Mac" McGill Athletic Complex on the Football Field. If there is inclement weather, the ceremony will be moved to the WHS Gymnasium. Any change in these plans will be posted on our website, social media feeds, and mobile app through a push notification.
Each Senior will receive 6 tickets which will allow 6 family members to sit in the designated area on the field. Each Senior will be given a number that was randomly selected informing family members what “box” they will be sitting in. Any family members over 6 can sit in the back of the graduates or up in the stands. The gates to the football field will open at 1:00 on Sunday.
If we hold graduation inside, each student will have 6 tickets and remaining seating will be by first come first serve. Doors to the high school would open at 1:00.
