The administration and staff at
Willowbrook High School would like to welcome you to the
2008-2009 school year!
We are excited to begin this year as
we build upon the success of our previous years. As
Willowbrook begins its 50th school year, we are reminded of the
accomplishments of our students, both past and present, and look
forward to the success of our students in the next fifty years.
There is a Warrior Pride that has been instilled and will
continue to be enhanced through the efforts of all of us.
The 2007-2008 school year provided
numerous opportunities for growth and improvement in our varied
academic, athletic and co-curricular
programs. We continue to celebrate our installing of the
Warrior Code as well as the local, state and national
recognition our students have received in the areas of Advanced
Placement, Automotive Technology, Music, Theater, Art, Athletics
and numerous other programs.
The 2008-2009 school year will focus on the improvement and enhancement of
our student
intervention programs with an emphasis on creating positive
relationships and learning experiences to improve student
achievement. This will
be supported by the continued renovation of our facility,
enhancements in our technological services and the
implementation of a Small Learning
Communities model for ninth grade students.
In all that we do, our overreaching goal is to help all students
improve in their individual capacity to learn at a high level.
We hold all students to high standards of learning and take
pride in helping them be
prepared for careers in a global economy and compete with
the best. We will need the commitment from everyone
to help all students learn at a rigorous level. In partnering
with parents, community members, teachers, and administration,
we will achieve our goal.
