Principal Message
Happy Weekend West Potomac High School Community,
As we reflect on the week, I am filled with a sense of pride and excitement for our school community. With many changes this year, our students, staff and community are embracing the fresh starts and new beginnings for West Potomac.
Our Back-to-School Open House was a resounding success, providing a wonderful opportunity for parents and guardians to connect with teachers and learn about the year ahead. It was heartwarming to see so many families in attendance and the enthusiasm for learning was palpable.
On the athletic front, our school day volleyball match, WPHS vs West Springfield, was a thrilling display of skill and sportsmanship. The energy and support from the student body was electric, creating an unforgettable atmosphere.
As we move forward, I want to remind everyone about the importance of safe driving in our school parking lots. Please remember to follow all traffic rules and signs to ensure the safety of our students and staff. We have also begun ticketing students who are parking without a valid parking pass.
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to our entire school community for a fantastic start to the year. Your commitment to excellence and support for our students is truly inspiring. Let us continue to work together to create a positive and inclusive learning environment for all.
Have a wonderful week ahead!
Go Wolverines!
Jessica Statz, Principal
