Here's A Perfect Way To Meet The Teachers

One of the best parts of the night? Meeting the teachers! Put faces to names, ask questions, and maybe even scope out who gives the least amount of homework...no promises, though.

Now, before everyone gets too excited, there will NOT be schedule changes, device checkout, or student ID distribution during the Open House. So leave your forms, laptops, and ID photo-ready smiles at home this time around.

Whether you’re a nervous freshman or a seasoned upperclassman parent, the Williston High School Open House is a great way to start the year on the right foot—and maybe even the right hallway.
