Students of Washington Jr. High are planning an hour of food and fellowship to honor U.S. military servicemen and women for their commitment to the country. At the conclusion of the breakfast, attending veterans will be “clapped out” of the building. The clap-out is a long-standing tradition at Washington Jr. High reserved for those held in the highest honor.
We invite all veterans (who are family members and friends of WJHS students) to enjoy breakfast with us!
Conferences begin tomorrow! We ask that you limit your conference time when there are others waiting. If your child won’t attend with you, please bring a copy of their schedule so you know which rooms to visit. See you soon, Wildcat Families!
Our Wildcats had a great day, scoring 2nd in pom and kick and 3rd in jazz! We are proud of you!

WJHS EAST Students Chris Carson, Dandin Hald, Madi Sims, and Jane Byrne were recently selected (out of a hundred applicants) to build a project for the Little Rock Zoo through EAST and Project Zoo. The Little Rock Zoo partners with EAST students interested in utilizing their classroom’s resources, time, and talent to help solve challenges at the Zoo. The students will receive guidance and advice from Zoo staff throughout the duration of the partnership. The targeted outcome is to develop unique and engaging student projects resulting in products used within Zoo functions. Prototypes are coming soon!

A big welcome to Megan Benton, our new theater and forensics teacher! Bio: I grew up in Rogers, and graduated from Texas Christian University in Ft. Worth. (Go Frogs!) I have an amazing daughter, Maron, who just turned 5 months old and two dogs, Fiona and Delta. I have been teaching for 16 years all over the United States from Washington, DC to Santa Fe, NM. I love to spend time with my family and friends, read any kind of book, and volunteer at Helping Hands. I enjoy traveling with my family in our RV, named Bessie, and I have been in love with Theatre and History for as long as I can remember. I adore coffee and my favorite color is purple.
Students- please consider auditioning for this classic! Ms. Benton is available in room 400 if you have questions.
