WHS AP Biology students visited the NYIT School of Osteopathic Medicine at ASU today. They started the day with an introduction to what Osteopathic Medicine is and a hands-on example of how they diagnose and treat issues. They then got to tour the anatomy lab and learn all about the structure and function of the human body with hands-on experiences. Finally, they got to learn and practice the skill of placing a tracheostomy tube!

WHS parents and students, With the damage that we have around the front of the gym, we will be closing the front of the gym off for student use. Students will not be able to use these doors as an entrance or exit from the building. The entrance at the high school office and the entrance under the cafeteria awning will be the entrance and exit points into the building during the school day. Student drop off and pick up procedures will remain the exact same as they have been all year. In the mornings, students will enter the building using the CAFETERIA ENTRANCE. This is for car riders and drivers. All students will enter through the cafeteria.
