Just by being an eagle, you are different by design. You are part of a legacy that put a small 4A school on the national map of winners. WHS was the underdog...until we made our presence known. You are a different kind of winner, a different kind of leader.

Perhaps as a single mom, you succeed at your job and still make time to volunteer for your child's school and extracurricular activities. In addition to caring for your child, you make sure all the kids on the soccer team have treats - every week. You serve with Class and Character.

Maybe you are a career professional. You do your job and you do it well! But, there is a part of you that no one at work has considered. They may not know that you serve the community by faithfully participating in fraternity/sorority/church efforts on an ongoing basis...year after year, project upon project. Others do know that they can count on you!

Do you have an entrepreneurial spirit? You may still work in corporate America, but your heart is also about building a business so you can leave a legacy to your children. Yes, you still serve the community and participate in projects that support positive outcomes. But, you know that there is more in life...and you go for it!

You may be that Eagle who overcame adversity. It may have been a sickness, financial challenges, or family matters. Yes, things may still be a challenge but you persevere and still serve others. People love your spirit of giving in spite of what could deter you from your goals. They admire how you exhibit class and character.

Maybe you took a different road to success. But, you took a step of faith and landed in a world of rewards that you never dreamed possible. Now, others are and can be inspired by your example.

Take a minute and think about your story. Could someone be inspired by what you have done over the years? If so, we want you! You story is our story...the legacy of a Willowridge High School Eagle. And we want to honor you.

A different kind of leader, the same winning Eagle spirit! Once an eagle, always an eagle.

If this sounds like you, we invite you to apply for induction into the WHS Wall of Honor.
