by out-kicking their top runner in the last 50 meters. Joey finished

commitment to being a top runner by contributing his efforts to the

Remember to apply to a variety of schools. Use the "Reach - Target - Safety" plan
to increase your chances of receiving an acceptance.
REACH
Your top choices, the most
academically challenging
schools on your list. You
should include a couple of long
shots, you might be pleasantly
surprised.
TARGET
Schools where you would be
very happy and are likely
to be admitted.
These are your realistic
choices.
SAFETY
Schools where you are almost
certain to be admitted and
where you think you would be
happy and get a good
education. A safety school
should also be affordable if you
need to pay out of pocket or

your classes since you cannot return to your car during
the school day.
WHS is a closed campus -- students may not leave campus or go to the parking lots
during the school day, including lunch or break. Students who have a gap in their schedule in the
middle of the day MUST see their counselor to determine the best options for filling that mid-day
block. Students caught leaving the campus will serve two consecutive lunch-time detentions.
Students should not be visiting any other Windsor School campus while in route home.
