White Plains High School student-athletes have been proving themselves all year! Recently, 11th-grade diver Jack Cullen broke the team record – again – for the 11 dive with a new score of 425.60. Earlier this season, he set the record at 421.1. Also, senior football player Isaiah Pierre was named as an honorable mention for this year’s Section 1 Golden Dozen Scholar Athlete class, which was announced on January 30.

Congratulations Jack and Isaiah! #WPProud
 

The 21 counselors in the White Plains City School District wear many hats: academic advisers, close confidantes, calm mediators, relentless advocates and trusted guides.On any given day, they may help a fifth-grader calm racing thoughts, walk a seventh-grader through peer conflict, coach a high school student through class planning or listen to a teenager who just needs to be heard. It’s National School Counseling Week, which focuses “public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems,” according to the American School Counselor Association.
