Dear WA Community,
We are excited to host Homecoming 2011 next week! This is a very special time for our school community when we celebrate our school spirit, and welcome alumni back home to their alma mater. We hope that our students have a memorable week with fun dress up days and special activities designed to bring them closer together as brothers and sisters in Christ.
Please know that parents and guests are welcome to join us for our Homecoming Football Game Friday night under the lights!
