A big shout out to one of our amazing WHE parents, Devyn Lee, for painting our Wave Maker boogie board! This board will be passed around among our staffulty to recognize those who go above and beyond the call of duty.
It takes all of us to make waves of greatness, and we’re so grateful to have parents like Devyn helping us celebrate the heart and hard work of our team.

At our Back-to-School Rally, we had the honor of recognizing two incredible members of our WHE family who go above and beyond every single day!
Heather Sours is our Teacher of the Year! As a 5th grade science teacher, she’s always looking for hands-on, engaging ways to bring learning to life for her students. Her passion and dedication shine through in everything she does.
Caroline Fausett is our Staff Member of the Year! Though officially an assistant teacher, she wears many hats—you might find her in the front office, decorating hallways, stepping in for teachers, or supporting students wherever needed.
These two amazing women do so much for our school community, and we’re beyond grateful to call them Wildcats. Thank you for making waves of greatness every day!
