ECAs are given to students in biology, algebra, and English 10. A passing score on the algebra and English 10 are required for graduation. Page 4 Warrior Connection Looking ahead… SAT and ACT Juniors should plan on taking the SAT and/or the ACT by June of 2015. Counselors recommend students take each exam one time. Students that plan on attending Ivy Tech or Vincennes University are not required to take the SAT or ACT, as these schools use their own placement exams. (Both of these colleges will accept SAT and ACT scores if the student has taken these exams, but test scores are not required for admission). In addition, some technical or proprietary schools do not require the SAT or ACT. If your student is unsure of their future plans, it may be a good idea to take these tests just to keep doors open for next year. Each test costs a fee. Students that qualify for the free or reduced lunch program or are an enrolled 21st Century Scholar can ask their counselor for a fee waiver.

Page 5 Warrior Connection FFA—WCHS FFA has been keeping busy over the winter! In December we competed in the District VIII Crops Competition in Shelbyville and placed 1 st Alternate for State. December and the holiday season also brought one of our larger service projects, “Adopt-A-Family” project. A group of members were able to shop and provide Christmas presents and a Christmas meal for a family in our community. Students did an excellent job getting the most for their money and purchasing as much as possible on their budget. They were also able to wrap and deliver the gifts to the family in person and see the impact of their donations. The chapter also competed in the State Dairy Foods Evaluation Competition on January 31st at Purdue University. There were a record number of participants, over 250, from across the entire state. Whiteland FFA represented extremely well, with one member, Emily Dougherty, placing in 9th in the entire state in the competition. Our high placing team (Emily Dougherty, Autumn Peterson, & Cayman Stevens) placed 23 rd in the state of 65 teams. February 23-28th National FFA Week was celebrated at WCHS.

We DO NOT charge library fees. Therefore, I am asking for your help. We have students who have overdue materials and other students would like to read them.

Also, if you happen to locate a book that has our barcode on it that has WCHS Library over the top, please send it back to the school, no questions asked.
