Whippet Works: Connecting Community, Careers, and Classrooms

On Wednesday, March 4, we hosted our first annual Whippet Works: Connecting Community, Careers, and Classrooms event at Whitewater High School, and what an incredible night it was!

We welcomed local businesses, organizations, and industry partners to experience firsthand the many ways they can connect with and support students in the Whitewater Unified School District. Guests toured our CTE learning spaces, learned about our exciting CTE renovation and expansion plans, and participated in a Youth Apprenticeship informational session and panel discussion featuring local partners.

The energy, ideas, and conversations throughout the evening made one thing very clear: when schools, businesses, and the community come together, amazing things happen for our students.

Our goal is simple: to bridge the gap between community, business, and education so our students are better prepared for life beyond high school whether that path leads to college, technical training, apprenticeships, or directly into the workforce.

Together we make a difference.

Together we show students the incredible opportunities around them.

Together we make the Whitewater area a great place to live, work, and belong.

A huge thank you to the many businesses and organizations who joined us and are committed to building these opportunities for our students. Big things are happening in WUSD, and this is only the beginning. The future is bright for our students and our community!
