2026 Finals
Yesterday, this outstanding group of students was honored through the Odessa File’s Tribute Awards program. We were also proud to welcome Odessa File editor Charlie Haeffner, along with longtime teacher and coach Craig Cheplick, back to WGHS to present the awards and share a few words of inspiration with our students. "This year at WGHS we have one young woman -- senior Emily Melveney -- honored for the third straight year. Two other seniors -- Sam Hohle and Zade Gomez Fitzsimmons -- have been named for the second year in a row. Ten other students were selected for the first time: seniors Olivia King, Wendy Coleman, Anna Franzese, Logan DeBolt and Lilian Artusa, and juniors Jude Santos, Lizzi Fitzwater, Isaac Hendrickson, Natalie VanSkiver and Isabella Bellavigna." (Source: Odessafile, "And the Honorees Are...") Stay tuned in to the Odessa File for the details and story that will accompany this post. Not present for the photo: Jude Santos and Lillian Artusa Congratulations to all of our honorees. Our students continue to make us #WGProud!

Last weekend, students Lilian Artusa, Elizabeth Fitzwater, Grace Weed, and Natalie VanSkiver as well as directors Alex and Kelsey Gill spent two incredible days at Binghamton University participating in the Greater Binghamton High School Musical Theatre Awards.

They had the opportunity to work with university professionals and a Broadway performer, diving into all things musical theatre—from vocal work and song interpretation to choreography. Throughout the weekend, they collaborated and trained alongside talented students from 10 other schools, building skills, connections, and unforgettable memories.

The weekend concluded with an awards ceremony recognizing excellence across all participating programs, where our students were honored for their hard work, dedication, and spirit throughout our production of Six.

We were especially proud to celebrate Lilian Artusa, who received an Honorable Mention Award for Outstanding Leading Performer!

We also want to recognize Kelsey Gill, who was honored with the “Fine, I’ll Do It Myself” Award, highlighting the many hats worn and the incredible dedication shown throughout our production.

Most importantly, our students represented our program with kindness, respect, and professionalism all weekend long. It was truly a joy to watch them shine alongside such talented peers.

We are so proud of this experience and cannot wait to return next year! We are #wgproud
