Photo Retakes
Picture retakes will be on November 8th. Students: if you didn’t have your photos taken last month, you MUST have your photo taken. This photo is used for your new IDs. Senior Portraits are different from Picture Days. All seniors must be photographed in order to be in the Yearbook. Dates are scheduled at West Haven High School and at Legacy Photo in Cheshire. Make sure you check the Class of 2025 Google Classroom for scheduling by Dec. 1st. Failure to have your picture taken by then will result in not being in the 2025 Yearbook.

The Student Government and band are joining forces to organize the WHEAT Canned Food Drive. There will be boxes all over school for you to put your donations in. WHEAT is a local food pantry that has served needy families in the city since 1975. Their website currently asks for all non-perishable food items, especially canned goods, tuna fish, cereal, pasta, peanut butter, soup, pasta, and soups. Please consider helping the WHEAT Canned Food Drive this year.
