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."

Stay tuned in to the Odessa File for the details and story that will accompany this post.

Congratulations to all of our honorees. Our students continue to make us #WGProud!
Graduation season is upon us, and helping kick things off is Zade Gomez Fitzsimmons, who graduated last week from Corning Community College with her Associate’s Degree.
This is an incredible accomplishment, especially knowing that she will also earn her high school diploma in just a few short weeks.
Zade and the Class of 2026 continue to make us #WGProud. As in all things, hard work pays off!
Congratulations to WGHS Salutatorian Sam Hohle, who has earned admission to the United States Naval Academy.
This achievement is especially meaningful as we also celebrate WGCSD alum and Class of 2021 Salutatorian Bryce Kelly, who graduated from the United States Naval Academy this spring.
Admission to a federal service academy is an exceptionally selective and worthwhile process, requiring strong academics, leadership, physical readiness, and a congressional nomination.
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s Service Academy Information Night is a great opportunity for students and families to learn more about this path and the steps involved.
The event will be held Tuesday, June 2 at 6:00 p.m. at Elmira College.
We are proud of these WGCSD graduates and encourage interested students to explore this unique opportunity to serve and lead.

This Memorial Day, the Watkins Glen Central School District honors and remembers the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. We are grateful for their sacrifice and the freedoms they helped protect.
