🎉 Congratulations to WL-S juniors Emery Longaberger and Abbie Thoman! 🎉 Yesterday, Emery and Abbie graduated from the Youth Leadership Champaign County program, joining students from across the area to grow their leadership skills and gain real-world experience. 🧡🖤 Throughout the semester, these students explored local businesses — including Abuela’s Kitchen, Rittal, Colepak, and Freshwater Farms— learning the history of these establishments and the important role leadership plays in their success. 🏢🍽️🐟 Emery and Abbie completed the program by preparing and presenting final projects that reflected their journey and what they learned along the way. We’re so proud of their dedication and excited to see how they’ll continue to lead at WL-S and beyond! 👏✨ #WLSProud #FutureLeaders #LeadershipChampaignCounty #TigerPride #StudentSuccess #WLSTigers

🐯 Today, we celebrated an incredible milestone at West Liberty-Salem! 🐯 This year marks the 20th Annual White Tiger Award Ceremony, a special tradition that honors students who exemplify outstanding character, leadership, and positivity in our school community! 🎉 The White Tiger Award was originally created by beloved WL-S teacher Angie Warye, who believed in recognizing students who go above and beyond — those who inspire, encourage, and lead with heart. ❤️ The Warye family continues to carry on this legacy through the Angie Warye Foundation, which provides scholarships to our White Tiger recipients to support their future goals. 🎓✨ Today’s ceremony was filled with inspiring stories, heartfelt nominations from our staff, and well-deserved recognition for our amazing Tigers. Congratulations to all of our honorees — your impact is felt every day at WL-S! 🧡🖤 📖 Read the full story here: https://www.wlstigers.org/article/2141684 Congratulations to this year's White Tigers: 9-Owen Hardwick 9-Olive Matthews 9-Isla Leicthy 10-Aiden Hull 10-Eli Sertell 10-Sophia Landon 10-Avi Lehman 10-Levi Yelton 10-Emma Vigar 11-Tru Maxim 11-Malia Miller 11-Caleb Larson 11-Cody Ferryman 11-Tevis Cox 12-Cam Bair 12-Shyanne McClintick 12-Emberly Cox 12-Skylar Holland 12-Treyton Helms 12-Lee Stocksdale 12-Anna Eleyet 12-Andrea Heath 12- Allie Ferryman 12-Ava Johnson 12-Savannah Gluckle #WLSTigers #WhiteTigerAward #TigerPride #StudentLeadership #CharacterCounts #AngieWaryeLegacy #20YearsOfExcellence #WLSProud
