Another Speaker Series at Wheeling Park today!
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!

Our Speaker Series is back in 2026!
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!

For the Week of December 8
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.

Lastly, this Friday is interim. You can expect interim reports to come home next week.

Our Lunch & Learn visits continued this week. We had 17 students visit with Wheeling Symphony. They learned about a variety of jobs and opportunities in their organization. Students who attended received complimentary tickets for Symphony on Ice, and were invited to volunteer for the event.
We are so appreciative to our local partners who host our students. Lunch & Learn are a valuable experience for our students to realize the future opportunities available to them.
