What I love most about Whittier
Whittier is an amazing place to learn and grow! Students are surrounded by a caring staff that supports their academic and social growth. Our school has a robust Positive Behavior Intervention and Support system that supports a positive school climate. Students also participate in the fine arts (music and art) as well as orchestra and band. Our students enjoy physical education classes in which they experience a variety of activities like rock wall climbing, bowling, archery and so much more. We have an active PTO who hosts a variety of family events. From Trunk or Treat, to our annual 4K, Art Nights, game nights, school carnival, and a Color Run there is always something for families to do at school! We all #lovebeingawildcat!
