The Whitman Wildcats are committed to making learning accessible for all students. Staff at Whitman strive to support the academic and social growth of students by creating and sustaining meaningful relationships with students, families, and the community at large.  Each day we affirm our vision statement: “We are a school community that is responsible, respectful, and safe. We work with our students to understand and develop empathy, as well as the ability to repair broken relationships. As a school community we will strive to foster positive relationships and actively engage in each student’s individual learning. We will set high expectations and form partnerships with parents and the extended community. Our mission is to develop young people who are able to positively contribute to their community by instilling in them the values of respect, responsibility, and a life-long love of learning.”
