On Thursday, 1/16, WTHS hosted over 300 rising 9-12th grade students and families showcasing the numerous programs offered at WTHS. Course scheduling season is coming up in February. Students should make it a point to visit the WTHS web site to continue exploring program options and have conversations with school counselors about their next year's schedules. Information about summer STATT Camp will go out in late March.
On Friday, 1/17, WTHS's digital music and video production program was featured on WBOC's Delmarva Life. Coordinator Tamara Mills, Instructor Chris Jones, and WTHS students got to visit the studio and control room and sit on the set with Lisa Bryant and Mike Lichniak. WTHS is open for business! If you or someone you know is interested in visiting or utilizing the WTHS music studio, please contact the school.
WTHS continues to blaze trails. On Friday a lot of heavy hitting, rigorous activity was going on. Students practiced manicures in Cosmetology, laid intricate brick and block designs in Masonry, studied refrigerant in HVAC, and appeared on WBOC's Delmarva Life in an interview about our digital music program. We are also in the process of creating the Marlin Marketplace- a school shop featuring program products from honey to shirts to laser cut items. That's just the tip of the iceberg folks...standby!

Attention WCPS families: As temperatures remain low, WCPS wants to remind our students and their families to be safe near bodies of water that form ice this time of year. Remember, the ice on ponds, storm water retaining areas, and canals is never strong enough to allow any human to walk on them. Keep the below safety tips in mind for winter water safety.
• Do not walk, skate, or play on frozen bodies of water. A good rule to follow is there is no such thing as a sate thickness of ice in our area.
• Keep pets and children away from ice-covered bodies of water.
Animals are particularly at risk of falling through thin ice.
• Educate children. Tell kids about the dangers of playing near frozen bodies of water and reinforce the importance of never venturing out on the ice.
• Report dangerous conditions. If you see anyone venturing onto the ice, immediately call 91l and inform local authorities.
We are so grateful to the small (but mighty!) WCPS maintenance and custodial teams working so hard to clear our school parking lots and sidewalks to get schools ready to welcome students back once it's safe to do so. Please drop a ❤️ or a comment below to send warm wishes and thanks to our crews! #WeAreWorcester #WorcesterProud
