You’re hungry and class just won’t seem to end.  But just around the corner, there are some sweet treats and gifts at the Wolverine Warehouse.  This new addition to our school was created by Mrs. Wilson, a business teacher, and her Entrepreneur class.

  The store went up within the first few weeks of this school year, and has been going strong ever since.  The entrepreneur class went to work cleaning out the old closet, painting, setting up the store, and ordering things to sell. With the help of Mrs. Wilson, the class got to choose what to sell and how much to charge.

Student Spotlight: Mean, Green Lady Wolverine Basketball Team.

“At center, number 40, Kendyl Vandergriff!” the announcer yells over the intercom.

   Vandergriff moved here from Franklin County in October of her junior year. She has been playing basketball for Franklin County High School since she was in 7th grade.  Transferring schools and teams wasn’t easy. “I had to learn all new plays,” Vandergriff explained.  “The practices are different at County, there is more structure, at Hills we can do what we want.” Read more...

  On December 18, 2009, there was a smell in Western Hills. It affected the entire school, and the strangest part of this is that it started with a very small container and a couple of months of waiting.

  Teachers do not take the selection process of the National Honor Society very lightly.  We each know that selection is taken very critically by students, parents, and faculty. 

  Each year a new Faculty Council of five teachers is appointed to review student activity forms and faculty input forms in order to select only the most honorable students for admittance.  The standards, requirements, and policies for the Faculty Council are set forth in the National Honor Society’s Constitution, a publication that makes each chapter consistent.

RING! That’s the sound of our school’s bell. It is more than just a sound, it’s a way to tell the students, “Nice to see you, but you’re late”. Our school has a tardy problem. Angel Mitchell, sophmore says, “I never know how much time I have. The clocks in the hallways aren’t always right.” If only there were a way to keep time.

  Sorry freshman boys. The way things are looking, you’ll have about two more years before you land a girlfriend in high school. The reason why?  Girls like older boys. Us girls have been told for ages that boys mature slower than girls, and we left the “If-I-hit-you-it-means-I-like-you” stage in the second grade.  Boys, you’re still going through it. A word of advice: no girl likes being pushed into a locker, into the wall, or pushed into other various hard objects around the school. So stop.

  The New Year just arrived and I was curious to hear about everyone’s New Year’s resolutions.  I know that some people don’t make resolutions and I wanted to hear why.  So I went around the school asking everyone I saw, to tell me about their New Year’s resolutions they made for 2010.  I got a wide variety of answers.  Here are some of the most interesting resolutions:

“I don’t like making resolutions, but I did set a goal for myself this year.  On the way to work I think positive thoughts to myself for 10 to 15 minutes.”-Mrs. Schwarz
