Recognize A WHS Staff Member Recognizing - Lindsey Decker, Social Studies Teacher I feel Mrs. Decker needs to be recognized for being an amazing, understanding teacher that goes above and beyond. In a school this big its great to see a teacher who understands that every kid is different and she takes the time to get to know each of them. She fights for them and tries her best to push them without giving up on them. I can't say enough positive things about her as a teacher. She deserves to be recognized. I only hope that my other kids will be lucky enough to have her as their teacher. - Kory Bengtson Share the good things - Recognize a WHS Staff Member
