Gifted Department
The Gifted and Talented Education department currently has three teachers: Ms. Lesley Krasman (Social Studies), Mr. Jeffery Snyder (Technology), and Mrs. Jodi Blasi (Science).
The Gifted Department is particularly strong in the Science Olympiad competitions as well as its selection of particular students to Hometown High-Q. The WHHS Gifted Department also produces a yearly award-winning magazine - Graphiti - which features student literature and artwork. The Gifted Department also offers classes in American Sign Language, Creative Writing, Robotics and a Theater Workshop.
One particularly strong part of the Gifted department is its Mock Trial team. The team has been Allegheny County champions three of the past six years, and the team made it to the semi-finals at the state level in 2009. The Mock Trial team is coached by Mr. Kevin McGuire.

Famous quotes containing the word department:
“While the focus in the landscape of Old World cities was commonly government structures, churches, or the residences of rulers, the landscape and the skyline of American cities have boasted their hotels, department stores, office buildings, apartments, and skyscrapers. In this grandeur, Americans have expressed their Booster Pride, their hopes for visitors and new settlers, and customers, for thriving commerce and industry.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
