Patrons of the Performing Arts (PPA) is a nonprofit parent volunteer support group for band, choir, dance, drama, orchestra, speech and technical theater. Founded in 1984, PPA donates upwards of $100,000 each year to support the fine arts programs at WHS. They provide uniforms, music, cover travel expenses, sets for plays, fees for competitions and much more. PPA also focuses on capital campaigns to improve and replace outdated equipment at WHS. In the past 5 years they have purchased a Steinway piano, replaced seating in the Little Theater and are currently fundraising to upgrade all theatrical lighting in the Auditorium. Volunteers plan, organize and host all of the performing arts fundraising events. These events give students incredible opportunities to share their talents and grow their skill sets. All events (large and small) require hundreds of volunteer hours. Please sign-up to volunteer at an upcoming performing arts event!
