Wenatchee High School Weekly Bulletin – 9/5 Wenatchee High Pride Thanks to all our students, teachers, staff, and parents who made our first week back to school a successful one! As we begin the school year, remember this is a fresh start. Put in your best efforts and be mindful of your homework and GPA. Graduation from high school, though desirable, is not enough. Consider the military, vocation or trade schools (tech center is a great start), community college, or a 4-year university. Calling all Volunteers – We have a new process for volunteering with the school. You may now apply online at wenatcheelearns.com.
