College Advising

One-on-one meetings with our guidance counselors are held during the spring of junior year and fall of senior year regarding college admissions and career advising. Every spring, students also meet with a guidance counselor to go over their academic schedule for the following year, as well as future goals and aspirations. Outside these scheduled meetings, students are welcome to speak to a guidance counselor at any time about issues that concern them.

Career Day

This biennial program is offered to all high school students in the fall. Professionals from the community come to WCHS for a half day and share their job/career with students. When adults come in to speak about their professions, it provides opportunities for students to hear from a living, breathing, excited professional, instead of just reading about the career in a book or on a website. Students have the chance to ask questions and interact with the speaker.

Many have found these sessions to be of great help and inspiration in planning their futures. Participants and keynote speakers have included people in the following fields: psychology/counseling, civil engineering, game design, paramedic/EMT, FBI, real estate, Christian ministry, film production, funeral director, pharmacist, marketing, law enforcement, lawyer, genetics, music therapy, occupational therapy, early childhood education, and more.
