Student Activites

Student Government

The ninth grade leadership academy meets throughout the school year to discuss leadership topics, life issues, and to prepare students for leadership roles in the student government. The high school teachers nominate students for student government, and then the student body elects a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and student council. The council meets twice a month, planning activities and ministries in which the entire student body may participate

 

Events

There are many opportunities for WPA families to get together for fellowship and events. The families at WPA are close nit and enjoy one another’s company at fund raisers and athletic events. Along with these, we have a picnic at the beginning of the school year. This is a good time for students, parents, faculty and staff to get to know one another. Along with our wide variety of classes and academic and fine arts competitions, we offer Math Pentathlon every week for the elementary students.

 

Field Trips

Each grade level has a representative, usually one of the mothers that has a child in that grade. The representative plans at least two field trips during the school year. For example, the third grade class went to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Fort Worth. These trips are all parent-driven and do not interfere with class time.

 

 

 

Drama

WPA offers drama classes for students in 1st-12th grades. The drama classes put on one performance at the end of each semester. For the first time this year, WPA had a full-length production of the play “The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood.” This program was completely student-driven. One of our seniors directed the entire production. The students played all of the parts, were stage crew, and made the props and costumes.
