Westosha Central High School District

Meet John Kinzler, a 2023 WCHS graduate currently attending Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. John is our first Alumni Spotlight for #CTEMonth! During his time at Westosha Central, he was active in athletics, clubs, and took a variety of courses in our Business & Marketing Department.

Advice to Current Students:
It is not through self-service or wealth that we are fulfilled. What I have found is that the peace and sense of contentment I have so desired has come in moments when I have been able to use my gifts and abilities to love and serve others. Carefully discern and pray about where you feel you will be able to use your gifts to serve others best. This is where your true satisfaction in a career comes from.

We are hosting the Southern Lakes Conference Wrestling Tournament on Saturday, February 7th! Matches begin at 9am, hope to see you there! #weAREwestosha

Raise Your Voice Club students completed the NAMI Ending the Silence training to learn about the warning signs of mental health conditions and what steps to take if they or a loved one are showing symptoms of a mental health condition. The presentation also included a personal testimony from a young adult who shared her journey towards recovery. Students left the training with a green bandana to tie to their backpacks and represent that they are safe individuals to approach with mental health-related issues. It also represents that they know how to connect students to resources such as Student Services or the 9-8-8 mental health crisis line. #weAREwestosha
