Most importantly, all WCHS students mature intellectually, socially, and morally as a result of being an active member of a school community that endorses high expectations that challenge each student to achieve his/her full potential. In order to fulfil its mission, WCHS is looking for exceptional teachers. Our teachers play very critical roles in realising the core mission, philosophy, and unique youth-centered approach to the school’s educational design.
