Hello WHS community! We have successfully conducted a Fire drill today (2/28/22) at 1:11 PM at Williams High School.

WEMS will be getting some renovations as well this summer! Thanks to ESSER II dollars (not our regular budget), WEMS will be receiving new HVAC units with air ionization. District-wide, WUSD # 2 will also receive EMS Smart Controls for all HVAC units, conserving energy, being greener, & saving local taxpayer money. WEMS units are 18 years old with an avg. life expectancy of 15 years. We hope to secure a SFB project in the near future for HVAC at WHS. Stay tuned! Great things are happening at WUSD # 2! More to come!

Excited to announce the gym floor at WHS will get a renovation and a face lift! Anticipated May of 2022! #GoVikes #Skol

We expect to be able to deliver your order next week, but we don't have a confirmed date yet. I will let you know when I have more information to share!
