WSMS 8^th Grade Parents,

Happy New Year to you and your families!

White Station High School will host its annual Optional School Open House Tuesday, January 19, 2021 at 6 pm virtually via the below link.  We hope you’ll join us as we share information about our rigorous college preparatory optional school program.   Also, please feel free to share with anyone you think might want to learn more about WSHS.  It is a “live” link accessible to anyone but it will not be active until that date/time.

This is a great opportunity whether you are 100% committed to being a Spartan throughout high school or whether you are still on the fence. We believe we are the best high school option around and want to show you why!

Have a fantastic rest of first semester and encourage your students to remain academically strong and focused, as these grades will determine their optional school standing and/or school choice options.
