Spirit Week 2025

WHHS Spirit Week is here—we are SO back!

Let’s give our all for PMAC (Poe Mill Achievement Center), this year’s charity partner.

PMAC is a summer and after-school enrichment program serving 120 under-resourced children, providing academics, fitness, games, art, dance, music, and character-building opportunities. Every dollar we raise goes directly to PMAC—none is kept at WHHS. This has been our tradition since the very beginning of Spirit Week.

Our 2025 Goal: $250,000!
Every penny makes a difference—let’s come together as a General family and make an impact!
