🧡 MISSION: EXCELLENCE 🧡

We are on a mission this year—a journey to discover, model, and live out what excellence looks like every single day!

At Whitman, we are not only teaching academics; we are developing leaders. We are equipping our Baby Hornets with the knowledge, confidence, skills, and tools they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond.

This week has been an AWESOME week of learning, growing, and working together. From our classrooms to our hallways, we are continuing to raise the bar and build a culture where excellence is the expectation.

Enter the Hive ready to learn. Leave ready to F.L.Y.!

The mission is clear. The journey has begun.
MISSION: EXCELLENCE! 🚀🧡🖤

What an awesome time we had yesterday at the Community Giveback hosted by Covenant Family Church! 🧡🖤

We loved connecting with our returning and new Whitman families. It was especially meaningful to hear Whitman alumni share their experiences and memories of being Baby Hornets.

Families explored some of the exciting STEM-based learning coming this school year, played chess, and received free books to grow their home libraries!

We still have Pre-K spots available—come join the Baby Hornet family!

We can’t wait to welcome everyone back on the first day of school! Enter the Hive ready to learn. Leave ready to F.L.Y.!
