Student Support

The Tiger Experience

Think back to the great memories that you have of your own school days.  Your memories may consist of attending or participating in athletics, band, vocal, performing arts, camps or other available opportunities.  Our students within the WDMCS are lucky enough to have all of these opportunities available today which collectively create the Tiger Experience.  The Tiger Experience builds memories that today's students will cherish for a lifetime. Because of the Student Support program, students are given the opportunity to enjoy the Tiger Experience regardless of means.
