Big thanks to Major Josh Sanders from the Wheeling Police Department for an outstanding job speaking with our students today about the amazing career opportunities in law enforcement. We learned in addition to policing there are many career paths including forensics, records, social work, crime analyst, victim advocate and administrative assistant to name a few. We are proud of our local Wheeling Police Department and thank them for their dedication!

This is the last week of the 1st semester. There will be opportunities on Tuesday and Wednesday for students to connect with teachers on any last-minute make-up work.
This week our underclassmen will be focusing on scheduling their courses for next year. You’ll see items coming out on Schoology for Pre-Registration. We have so many amazing courses and opportunities here. Please work with your child to help them develop course requests that meet their interests and post-graduation plans.
Senior families, please plan to purchase your cap & gown by this Friday before a price increase takes effect.
Lastly, as a reminder, students do not have school next Monday (MLK, Jr. Day) and Tuesday (PL Day). When the return on Wednesday, Jan. 21, we will start in Developmental Guidance where students will get and then start their 2nd semester schedules.

Today we welcomed Zach Abraham, President Ohio County Commission and CEO of Align HR, as well as Stephanie Hockenberry, Growth & Retention Manager of the Ohio County Development Authority.
Zach and Stephanie shared the value of local government and the impact on our local economy. They addressed the importance of teamwork and communication to the 20+ students in attendance. Speaker Series is such a valuable tool to connect our students with encouragement and post-graduation opportunities in the Ohio Valley.
We are looking forward to future Speaker Series guests from the Wheeling Police Department, local investing & financial planning companies and more!

There are so many things happening at Park this week! We encourage our students all the time to #experienceTHEPARK and this is a great week to do that. A couple of highlights....
Students will receive their Interim Report and their 2nd semester schedules on Tuesday. There is a process to request schedule changes and those need to be completed before leaving for Holiday Break.
Our Boys Basketball Team is hosting an exhibition game against Central Catholic on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. Admission is free. However, all donations will be given to the Steve Myers Memorial Baseball Scholarship Fund.
And the best way to get into the holiday spirit is to see our Festival of Sound. This is the 30th Anniversary and I know there will be a lot of special guests and extras throughout the three nights of performances. Please come and enjoy the show on Friday or Saturday night at 7 p.m. or the Sunday matinee at 2 p.m.


Hope you had a restful Thanksgiving Break. We will be back into full swing on Monday.
If you’ve never attended a Bowling Match, we encourage you to check out one of the two home matches this week.
Parents, Speaker Series is a great program we’ve started this year. We bring in a variety of local professionals that share their experience and encouragement as our students try to find their post-graduation path. Please encourage your child to attend one that sparks their interest. Additional opportunities are offered for those that attend, such as our Lunch and Learn and possible paid internships.
Lastly, this Friday is interim. You can expect interim reports to come home next week.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything.

This past Friday, Wheeling Park High School hosted its first Women in the Workforce Speaker Series. Women from a variety of career pathways shared their experience and encouragement with Wheeling Park students.
We are so grateful to have so many supportive professionals that are willing to mentor and share with our students.
Presenters (in alphabetical order): Laura Bush (designer), Rev. Maggie Carr (pastor), Carrie Gilson (research), Alishah Hardway (funeral director), Tasha Helms (coal miner), Melissa Hill (embalmer), Brandy Killeen (welder), Brenda Lesnett (OC deputy), Jess Moore (WVU Medicine), Laura Mull (insurance), Wendy Scatterday (architect), Erikka Storch (AEP manager)





It is a short week in Ohio County Schools – We will be off Wednesday through Friday for Thanksgiving Break.
Keep an eye open for information on our 40th Annual Festival of Sound. It’s a show you won’t want to miss.
We hope you all have a safe and relaxing break.
