Hello and welcome to Weddington High School,

We are thrilled you’re here and look forward to working with you! As you settle in, we wish for your high school years to be filled with connection and purpose. It is our hope you will step out of your comfort zone, take a risk, try something new, identify strengths and areas where you are on the verge of success, and to explore the many possibilities afforded to you as a student of Warrior Nation.

Understand there is no “right” number of Honors and/or AP classes to take, no minimum number of clubs to join, and no magic number of community service hours to accumulate. Spend your time as a Warrior learning about who you are, what you stand for, and how you will grow to become a contributing member of society.

On August 13th, 14th, 15th you will have the opportunity to meet with your assigned counselor to discuss and create your course schedule for the 2024-2025 school year. Meetings will be held in the counseling office in 15-minute time slots.
