Whitehall Middle and High Schools (6-12)

Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year!

Dear Middle and High School Students, Parents, and Guardians:

Welcome back to a new school year! The first official day for students is August 20th. I hope you all had an enjoyable summer and that this letter finds you excited for the upcoming year. As we prepare to reopen our doors, I want to express my appreciation for your dedication to your children's education. My staff and I are committed to working closely with parents to support student learning. Together, we can best help each student realize their potential.

The field of public education is constantly evolving. At Whitehall Middle/High School, we prioritize staying informed about educational trends and adapting our practices to serve each generation, while remaining true to our local values and beliefs. Last year, teachers, students, parents, and community members collaborated to create Whitehall School’s Portrait of a Graduate. This document provides a comprehensive framework outlining the key skills, attributes, and knowledge we expect students to possess by the time they graduate. It is proudly displayed throughout our schools.

In addition to the Portrait of a Graduate, our Middle/High School-wide goals are:
● Providing a safe, positive environment focused on learning
● Setting high expectations for behavior and academic achievement
● Using data to make informed decisions about behavior, instruction, and learning
● Increasing awareness of the great things happening in our schools

Attendance, behavior, and academics are three critical factors for a successful school experience. Showing up, behaving appropriately, and completing your work are essential skills for success in both school and life.

To our students, we are excited to welcome you as we bring our schools back to life. Whether you're returning or joining us for the first time, we promise you opportunities for growth, exploration, and learning. It’s up to you to take advantage of these opportunities!

Please stay informed by following the Whitehall High School Facebook page and visiting our school website for announcements. Our school counselor and office staff are available to assist with enrollments and answer any questions.

In closing, I am excited to welcome you all back to campus. Together, we will make the 2024-2025 school year great!

Trojan Pride,
Mr. Slater
Middle/High School Principal
