Whhs Cougar Pride Foundation

The WHHS Cougar Pride Foundation is working to change the trajectory of current students facing issues related to poverty and/or homelessness by filling gaps the school cannot cover, and which were being covered personally by teachers and coaches. The school is now a Title I school with over 70% of the student population qualifying for free and reduced lunches. We run a food pantry, school supply and clothing closet where counselors and staff members can send students who are in need. We also provide hot meals and to-go meals for athletes and students participating in extra-curricular activities so that they are able to have a meal before their competition, as well as snacks for counselors and on-site police officers to distribute as needed. We provided 250 bags of food for needy students to take home during Christmas breaks so that students would have food during the break and nearly 500 bags at Spring Break.
