Hi! I’m Nicole Snyder and I am joining the WCHS team this year! I am from St. Louis, Missouri, and graduated from SIUE in 2019. I then moved to Phoenix, Arizona where I taught for 2 years before moving back to the midwest. I’m so excited to be at WCHS and I am looking forward to this upcoming school year!
Teachers are officially back to school today! We are excited to see some of our students this evening. High school students—remember you must have your chromebook bag with you tonight to pick up your chromebook. Parents—make sure your child is registered. They will not get a schedule or chromebook until they are registered.

Meet Mr. Nevills!
I am excited to become a Warrior as the Assistant Principal for both the high school and the junior high this year. I attended Illinois State University and have previously worked at St. Anne and BBCHS. My new role will allow me to not only support our teachers, but also build relationships with our students and community members. Everyone has been incredibly welcoming to me and has made the transition as seamless as possible. I look forward to welcoming back our students and families as we begin another school year filled with new memories and opportunities.
