💙 Happy Retirement, Ms. Larisa Shaw! 💙
After 23 years in education, Ms. Larisa Shaw is beginning a well-deserved retirement.
Throughout her career, Ms. Shaw has been an outstanding educator, a strong leader, and a compassionate mentor. She approached every situation with grace, kindness, and a genuine heart for helping others. Her passion for teaching extended far beyond her students, as she was always willing to support, encourage, and teach her colleagues as well.
The impact she has made on countless students, families, and staff members will be felt for years to come. While she will be greatly missed at WHE, we are so grateful for the dedication, leadership, and love she has shared throughout her career.
Please join us in congratulating Ms. Shaw and wishing her all the best as she begins this exciting new chapter. Enjoy your retirement you have certainly earned it! 🎉

Before heading off for summer break, our WHE staffulty enjoyed some time together sharing laughs, memories, and plenty of crawfish! 💙

After a year full of hard work, dedication, and pouring into our Wildcats each day, it was nice to slow down and enjoy time together as a family.

We are thankful for such an amazing team and all they do to make WHE a special place to be!

🎉 That’s a wrap on another amazing school year at WHE! 🎉

Our Wildcats ended the year with lots of smiles, laughter, and memories made on the last day of school. 💙

One of the most special moments of the day was watching our 5th graders take their final walk through the hallways of WHE. While it’s hard to say goodbye, we are so proud of the students they have become and know they are ready for the next chapter ahead.

Thank you to our students, staffulty, and families for an incredible year. We hope everyone has a safe, fun, and relaxing summer!
