  • The Wisco Way

    In 2018, we identified ten biblical characteristics that guide and encourage the WLHS family in our walk as disciples of Jesus Christ. We call it “The Wisco Way,” but really, it is our Savior’s way. In addition to weaving these traits into chapel messages and homeroom discussions, we ask students and staff to nominate individuals in any grade who noticeably live these attributes. Each month, one boy and one girl whose actions model that month’s Wisco Way characteristic are acknowledged with a Viking Christian Leaders Award and our thanks for helping us sustain a culture that places a high priority on biblical values.
