I love the fact that I know almost every student and adult in the school environment and I know the teachers really care for the students. The teachers only want what is best for the students. To me that is all students need to realize that someone does care and that we can all be successful if we put in the effort. For me personally.. if I'm in a situation where I don't feel safe I will automatically panic and try to leave the situation.. This is something I have NEVER felt at WEHS. I always feel safe and protected. The teachers and faculty here are loving and supportive but they also make sure we get things done. I have never really been an "outgoing" person because I am incredibly shy but at WEHS I have been involved in many clubs, teams, and organizations with the support of my friends and family. WEHS has played a major part in my life and I wouldn't have wanted this experience at any other high school.
