WRHS Principal Award
Each year, Wiregrass Ranch High School honors a WRHS parent for their outstanding service to the school at the Senior Awards Banquet. Mrs. White presented Kim Clarke this award, not only for serving as our PTSA Treasurer, Reflections Chair, and Programs Co-Chair this year, but her service to the school for throughout the past 5 years.
PTSA Approves Watch DOGS for Next Year!
The PTSA has approved of a new Program called Watch DOGS or Dads of Great Students for next year. The goal of this program is to provide positive male role models for the students demonstrated by their presence that education is important and to provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying. Many school principals have reported that the presence of a Watch DOG figure dramatically reduces reports of bullying. There will be information at the General Assembly meeting on Thursday.
