Marine Biology

Advisor —Patrick Hardin

Students going on the marine biology trip have an opportunity for an adventure of a lifetime. Far away from the tourist attractions of Nassau, we spend our time on the Andros Island in the Bahamas. This unique experience is a chance for students to explore, discover and learn about coral reefs, Bahamian history, Bahamian culture and coastal ecosystems. Students snorkel daily identifying fish, corals and other animals.

Yearbook

Advisor: Kristen Elton

Twitter: @WHS_yearbook22

Yearbook is a yearlong course in which WHS students work together to create and publish the high school yearbook. Students are in charge of producing all of the content required to record the current year's yearbook. Our yearbook is created by our students in an online design program provided by Herff Jones. Their tasks include layout design, original artwork, photography, journalism, attending many school events for coverage, team collaboration, editing and interview skills. Our students produce close to 150 pages of full color content each year and always have a goal of representing each student in the student body throughout the yearbook. If you are interested in being apart of your school's history, please email Mrs. Elton!
