WSHS Honors Black History Month

During the month of February, we take the opportunity to celebrate Black History Month by affirming black and African American accomplishments, milestones, and contributions to our nation’s history. Our staff members are dedicated to telling a more complex and inclusive story of our shared past by acknowledging and honoring Black lives.
