Morning News Show

WHHS: The Lion's Roar is our morning news show. Teams of students work to produce the morning news daily. The Lion's Roar serves as the morning announcements for the entire school. Promptly at 7:50, the team is ready to go live and deliver the latest in weather, sports, lunch choices, the Question of the Day, and school announcements. The students also lead the school in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Student Vision.
