AND acceptance. -Tara (Lafferty) Reis, Class of 1989 To be a Wolverine, you have to take pride in everything that you do. Always stay focused on what’s important. Work hard each and every day and never give up on your dreams. -Sydney Moore, Class of 2018 Whether you’re a part of Woodland Hills’ athletics, music programs, etc., they have one quality that they share even though they may seem vastly different. That quality is the fact that Woodland Hills’ programs offer their students a wealth of unique experiences that teaches any student that is a part of it valuable life lessons, offers a community of likeminded people to seek support from, and makes the overall public school experience something you not only can remember, but take pride in. So what does it mean to be a Wolverine? That’s like asking me what it means to be proud of who I have become as a result of being a Woodland Hills student. After my time here at Woodland Hills, the two phrases “having pride” and “being a Wolverine” have become synonymous. -Andrew Prestogeorge, Class of 2018 What it means to be a Wolverine...a Wolverine is prepared...We are prepared to overcome challenges- whether they be academic, social, or personal. We have been provided the skills necessary to navigate these challenges successfully. -Lisa Kristian, Class of 1990, Instructional Coach, Edgewood Primary
