WPSD’s Varsity Soccer and Volleyball teams are ESDAA Champions three years straight!
The soccer and volleyball teams at WPSD were recently recognized for their extraordinary achievements in their respective ESDAA tournaments at a school wide pep rally. For the first time in School history, both teams have earned championship titles in their respective sport for three straight years. Amazing! The whole school joined together to celebrate the accomplishment and success of each team. Both are three-peat wonders! Will next year be a continuation of this historic streak? Stay tuned!
