As Grade 8 students near the end of their Junior High years, the WCHS Student Services Department engages in an extensive orientation program to make the transition from grade 8 to grade 9 in high school a smooth and worry-free experience. The orientation includes school visits, program information, Parent-Family Orientation Nights, and one on one registration assistance.
