This message is for the Class of 2020 and the Class of 2021:
At this time, we have been informed that Wes-Del High School will not be able to host prom this year. We were hopeful to provide this opportunity for our Warriors and unfortunately I am unable to get it done due to the guidelines provided by our local health department. As you have noticed, many schools have turned the planning and implementation of a prom-like event over to parents to provide an alternative experience.
Again, I am saddened by the news but excited to celebrate the Class of 2020 at their graduation on Sunday, July 12th at 3:00PM.
Thank you,
Mr. Perdue

The news of our buildings closing for the remainder of the year is heartbreaking for our students, staff, parents, and community. This had to be a hard decision for our state leaders, but one which is necessary for all our safety.
Our administrators and teachers met earlier this week, and we planned to release our “April Educational Plan” to parents tomorrow. With the new developments, administrators are meeting immediately to revise our plan to ensure we meet the new requirements, and so that we can get it to our teachers, students, and parents ASAP.
Please be patient as we were not given any heads up and found out at the same time as all of you. We will get through this together. #WDpride
Mr. Mealy
Warriors,
Schoology is experiencing a large volume of users across the country which is causing some issues. You may experience problems with the Schoology system.

We have our administrative staff working with Schoology, and we will get through this together! #WDpride
