Our Senior English students are getting a front-row seat to a masterclass in storytelling. We’re thrilled to welcome Carlos Andrés Gómez to campus—Award-winning poet, viral spoken-word performer, talented actor, and educator from NYC.

You might recognize him from HBO’s Def Poetry Jam, or perhaps you've seen his award-winning collections on the shelves. He explored with the Class of 2026 that poetry isn’t just words on a page—it’s a living, breathing tool for change.

It was a full house at WHS today for Take Your Child to Work Day! Our staff's children got a front-row seat to the world of education and even hit the airwaves! They teamed up with the BDTV crew and joined Joe Michaeli for a special "Cup of Joe" segment. We loved having these mini-educators and broadcasters on campus. We hope they had as much fun as we did!
