This year’s outstanding yearbook staff has risen to the challenge with dedication, creativity, and perseverance. We would like to give special recognition to our exceptional yearbook editors—Lorelei Goetz, Madalyn Richardson, and Layla Reeder—for their remarkable contributions. These students have consistently gone above and beyond, playing a vital role in the editing and revision process while producing visually compelling and high-quality spreads. Their leadership, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence have been invaluable to the success of this year’s publication. Mrs. Leighty and Mrs. Campbell are deeply grateful for their tireless work and inspired creativity throughout the year. Please join us in extending heartfelt appreciation to not only our incredible editors but also the entire yearbook staff, whose efforts have resulted in a meaningful collection of memories that the WT community will cherish for years to come.
