🌟 Last night at WHHS, the 2025 Unsung Hero Recipient Dinner was held, celebrating the incredible individuals who make a difference every day in our schools.
Each school selected its very own unsung hero—from security guards and secretaries to teachers, speech pathologists, and more. No matter the position, every member of West Haven Public Schools plays a vital role in shaping the lives of our students and supporting our community.
We are proud to work alongside such dedicated professionals who care deeply about the education and well-being of our youth. Last night was a special opportunity to recognize and honor their hard work and commitment. 🙌
