The final check presentations were today for Charitable Champions. As part of the Charitable Champions program, 8th-grade students learn about local nonprofit organizations and the role of philanthropy. Students then write a grant on behalf of one local organization and then the winning applications received a check.

Whitley County Consolidated Schools Board of School Trustees approved an updated school calendar for the 2024-2025 year to reflect five additional professional development (or teacher only) days for our staff.
The additional staff-only days were added through a 1003 waiver approved by the State. Students attend 5 fewer days during the school year but still exceed state guidelines for the number of required instructional minutes for the school year.
The change in calendar provides WCCS staff professional development opportunities to advance district strategic plan pillars of Comprehensive Student Experience, Employee Experience and Organizational Excellence.
Find the calendar on the WCCS App or online at wccsonline.com.
During tonight's board meeting retiring staff were recognized for their numerous years of service and dedication to WCCS.
Thank you!
Registration for the 2024-2025 school year is open! Begin the process at wccsonline.com/page/registration or through your Skyward account. Spring registration closes on May 31. #ExperienceWCCS
Our staff at the CCHS Cafeteria recently received this note from a student : "Me and my friend were late to lunch and even though they already put everything up they still had smiles on their faces and were more than happy to give us lunch. They were so sweet and asked us what we wanted and she asked us if we wanted a brownie and we said yes, she took the biggest ones out of the bottom.. .and gave them to us. It was so sweet she took the time to do that and that they weren't rude or upset or anything. I think about their kindness every day." Way to serve and care for our students ladies!
With a heartfelt thank you, WCCS extends appreciation to our teachers for National Teacher Appreciation Week.
