WCHS Juniors, have you heard about Boys State and Girls State? These are hosted by at colleges in Texas during June where you have the chance to work with other students from all over the state with the same goals as you! You will learn about legislature, leadership, laws, and so much more about yourself than you could imagine! We have secured sponsorship for at least one student to attend each of these that will cover tuition. If you would like more information or would like to sign up for an interview, please email samplej@wcisd.net.
WCHS Parents... As the end of the third nine weeks approaches, now is the time to go over grades and other concerns before the end of this year. If you would like to schedule a conference with the Principal (and anyone else you need in the meeting), please email WCHS High School Principal Dr. Joyce Sample for an appointment. Conferences will be held after Spring Break in most cases! Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we work together to ensure your student is successful at WCHS and the most prepared for whatever their future holds!

Our Percussion Ensemble proudly represented Wolfe City Proud Pack Band on Saturday at UIL Solo & Ensemble Contest and brought home a Division 1 (Superior) rating, the highest honor possible!
It has been at least 30 years since Wolfe City has participated in UIL Solo & Ensemble, and these students didn’t just return, they made history. Their dedication, focus, and countless hours of hard work paid off in the most exciting way. We could not be more proud of how they represented our band, our school, and our community.

WCHS student organizations have been busy over the past few weeks working to make Valentine's Day special for staff and students. FFA students decorated a bag for each teacher and provided materials during lunches for students to write notes to fill up each bag. The bags were passed out to teachers this afternoon full of kind (and some funny) notes. These were enjoyed by everyone! Thank you, FFA, for the very thoughtful affirmation activity! In addition, Student Council has been selling candy grams and soda crushes over the last few weeks in preparation for Valentines. Staff and students wrote notes to each other and purchased either candy or sodas to go with them. These were all delivered today during lunch. Thank you, Student Council, for always finding ways for our campus to feel loved! What a great day at WCHS!
Wolf of the Week!!

As School Board Appreciation comes to a close, WCHS would like to take one more chance to say THANK YOU to the WCISD School Board for everything you do for our students and staff. At the last Board Meeting, WCHS Student Council presented gifts to each member highlighting all of the amazing programs on our campus! None of which would be possible without the continued dedication and unwavering support of these individuals. We appreciate YOU!!!
WCHS Ag students competed at our Area V tractor tech CDE contest, where our students had to take a general knowledge exam, a parts and components exam, and had to work hands on and debug a tractor within a given time frame.
