The WYHS Homecoming Parade steps off THIS Wednesday, October 7 at 6 PM, and we want to see our community lining the route! The parade will begin at Etna Road Elementary, travel along Bernhard Road and Rickenbacker Avenue, and head down Yearling Road to WYHS.

Bring the family, find a spot along the route and cheer on our students as they march through Whitehall! 🎉🐏
