• We accept learning as a fundamental purpose of our school and therefore are willing to examine all practices in light of their impact on learning.
• We are committed to working together to achieve our collective purpose. We cultivate a collaborative culture through development of high performing teams.
• We assess our effectiveness on the basis of results rather than intentions.

Our Professional Learning Communities include:

Academies
Departments
Guidance Services

Since we believe that "learning" is the primary purpose of WHS, we focus on three critical corollary questions:

1. What do we expect students to learn?
   Have we collaboratively decided on outcomes for each course?
   Are these outcomes standards based?
   Are they in fact being taught? by each teacher?
   How do we know?
   
   
2. How will we know that students have learned?
   Have we collaboratively developed common assessments in order to determine the extent of student learning?
   
   
3. How will we respond when students have difficulty learning?
   What support systems have we collaboratively developed to assist students in their learning?
