Wyoming High School Junior Lorelei Wise has earned the highest possible score of 36 on the ACT college admissions test.

Lorelei plans to study psychology and/or astrophysics in college with the ultimate goal of earning a doctoral degree.

“I've always been fascinated by the brain, human behavior, and how cognition and biology impact each other,” said Lorelei. “Taking psychology this year has made me even more excited about these topics, and increased my certainty of what I want to study beyond high school.”

The ACT consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading and science, with an optional writing test. Each test is scored on a scale of 1 to 36, and a student's composite score is the average of those four test scores rounded to the nearest whole number. According to calculations based upon The ACT Profile Report for the Graduating Class of 2024, only .22% of test takers earned a 36.

“This extraordinary accomplishment showcases Lorelei’s remarkable capacity to apply knowledge, think critically and solve problems,” said Wyoming High School Principal Michael Voynovich. “Lorelei’s perfect ACT score is an example of Wyoming High School’s relentless pursuit of excellence in all areas and it is certainly a shining example of academic excellence in action.”

District leaders were in New York the week of March 10th to price and sell the bonds for our Wyoming Primary Schools Facilities Project. Despite uncertainty surrounding the financial markets the prior two weeks, we received $87.9 million in orders for our $72.5 million bond issue, meaning demand for the bonds exceeded supply. This strong interest in our bonds resulted in an overall lower interest rate!

Tremendous work is done across our Wyoming school community to create extraordinary opportunities for students. Wyoming High School Teacher Alice Berry exemplifies excellence in her work to empower Wyoming students with the knowledge, perspective, and skills essential for success.

In the words of those who nominated Ms. Berry for the WCS Impact Award:

Alice Berry is the kind of teacher every student deserves.

Ms. Berry gives up her own plan time and lunchtime every day because her classroom is where students feel welcome, safe, and valued.

She designs lessons that push students to analyze, question, and connect literature to the world around them, sparking curiosity and deeper understanding.

Alice has high expectations of her students and sets her freshmen up to be responsible, dedicated, and accountable for the rest of their high school career.

Her classroom is a safe, welcoming space where students feel encouraged to share their thoughts, take risks, and engage in meaningful discussions.

Alice Berry is THE trusted adult for many of our students and is an irreplaceable part of our staff.

At the heart of Alice’s teaching is her ability to hold students to high expectations while making learning engaging and relevant.

Ms. Berry is a beacon of light that shines brightly for our students and staff at Wyoming High School.

Alice Berry is truly a remarkable teacher and individual who is making a significant impact in her students’ lives on a daily basis. We are incredibly lucky that she chooses to do this for our Wyoming community!

The first Design Workshop for the new Wyoming Primary Schools project will take place at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 6, in the Hilltop School Gym. This Workshop Series has been developed to engage the Wyoming Community in the design of our new K-4 primary schools! The goal is to design each school so that it reflects the identity, values, and needs of the immediately surrounding neighborhood, while aligning with district priorities and exhibiting the unity of the Wyoming Community as a whole.

A total of nine workshops are planned at this time with three sessions held at each school. While all meetings are open to the public, each workshop will focus on the specific school where it is held. Design schedules are staggered to allow for the same 4-month engagement process to occur for each project.
