Highlights of the Choir's trip to Chicago last week: the group toured museums and the aquarium, caught the new Broadway show, "Death Becomes Her," and enjoyed a White Sox baseball game. They experienced a Master class with Dr. Fredenburg at Vandercook College and performed on Sunday at the Field Museum. What an amazing couple of days for our students!
On Friday, May 10, WHS Juniors Christina Gardner and Lauren Barnes traveled to Chicago, Illinois, to compete in Presentation Management at the Business Professionals of America National Leadership Conference. Christina and Lauren qualified for Nationals by finishing first at the State Leadership Conference in Columbus. They competed against 11 other teams from across the country and the world. In addition to competing, one highlight was experiencing the Skydeck at Willis Tower. Thank you to Pickaway Ross for sponsoring the trip!

Our Juniors and Seniors participated in the Prom Promise Simulation to demonstrate the dangers of drinking and driving. Participants wore specially designed goggles to simulate the impairment caused by alcohol consumption. They then attempted to drive a golf cart through a designated course, experiencing firsthand the challenges and dangers of driving under the influence. This simulation provided a sobering reminder of the potential consequences of impaired driving.
