Weatherford Independent School District | Charlotte LaGrone
Advanced Placement and Dual Credit courses
offer students the opportunity to choose from
more than 20 classes to earn college credit while
working towards high school graduation. And,
the WHS Collegiate Academy gives our high
school students the advantage of earning a high
school diploma and an Associate’s degree at the
same time.
Kangaroo Nation also supports a robust
athletic program with bright future and a history
of winning. WHS is the home of the nationally
acclaimed Blue Belles and our exceptional
Fightin’ Roo Band.
Our Weatherford High School family is a
tightly woven partnership of school, parents, and
community that exemplifies the town we live
in. We often say, “Roo Pride lasts forever”, and if
you look at our past, present, and future Roos...
that statement rings true.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Business leaders and individual community
members also have an opportunity to support
our school district through PTAs, booster clubs,
and the Weatherford ISD Education Foundation.
Since the spring of 2001, the WISD Education
Foundation has given over $1,300,000 in grants
to Weatherford ISD teachers to fund innovative
programs in the classroom. The Foundation also
provides school supplies for students in need, offers
continuing education scholarships for teachers,
and funds Heather’s Books – a program that has
provided over 2,100 books for Pre-K students since
the fall of 2018.
KIDS UNITE
For working parents, Weatherford ISD’s Kids
Unite program offers after school care at each
elementary campus as well as a summer day camp
program offered on weekdays.
THE KANGAROO
MASCOT
In the early 1920s,
WHS coach Ray
Morrison, accepted
a position at Austin
College. Since Coach
Morrison was so
admired, WHS adopted
the mascot of his new
school, the kangaroo, as
their own.
