We promote excellence in academics, arts and athletics. 

High School is a time for personal growth and exploration of new interests. I hope that you try something new, challenge yourself and go out of your way to meet new people.  WHS offers 36 varsity sports and a variety of fine arts (Band, Choir, Orchestra, Theatre, Debate and Speech) and clubs.  In September, an Activities Fair will highlight many club opportunities that will exist during the year. You can follow newsletters and the whsactivities.org website to learn more about upcoming events throughout the school year.

WHS Girls Golf Team is looking for committed players to join the team for the 23-24 season.   Head Coach Karen Weiss is a former LPGA Golfer and has a vast amount of knowledge to teach and make the game of golf fun for competitive individuals. 

Karen Weiss- Head Girls Golf Coach-  My nearly 50 years of golf experience help me see golf through a variety of lenses: as a caddy working with players of all levels manage their way around the golf course, as a collegiate player learning to blend my personal journey with that of a team, as an LPGA player, competing in elite level competition for 13 years, as a golf instructor striving to communicate a technical game to players of all levels, and now after 4 years, as a coach leading a group of young women on their own golfing journey. Those experiences inform two of my foundational keys to success: almost everything in golf starts and ultimately come back to the fundamentals, and the most important shot in golf isn’t in the past or the future, it’s in the present.  In other words, I feel that preparation and being mental focused are two of the most important keys to success in golf. My goal as a golf coach is to help strengthen player’s commitment and connection to these concepts in a “no fail zone”.  But more broadly speaking, my purpose as a golf coach is to provide the trusted support, guidance and spark that players need in order build self-confidence, develop character and chase dreams with integrity and determination.

Lindsey Huettl- Assistant Coach- Lindsey is a native of Mankato, where she grew up golfing alongside her parents.  A 3-sport athlete in high school, Lindsey took her love of soccer with her to college, playing for MSU.  After graduating college and moving to Woodbury in 2010, she used her love of golf to build connections in her new community.  Her passion for the game is undeniable as you can often find her on the course multiple times a day. But Lindsey is not just a “golf course rat” she is a knowledgeable accomplished player, having won several Women’s Club Championship titles.  I

Cathy White – Assistant Coach- Cathy is another experienced golf enthusiast. Cathy is an accomplish golfer both as a player and a teacher. Having competed collegiately at UW Madison, (being a two time captain) winning Club Championships and teaching under Minnesota legends such as Craig Waryan and  Rob Harry, she adds her wealth of knowledge to the coaching staff.  We are so very lucky to have both Lindsey and Cathy round out what is certainly one of the most knowledgeable and accomplished coaching staffs in Minnesota HS Golf. 

The Varsity team placed 5th out of 10 teams this year in Conference play, and 5th at Conference Finals.  We go into Sections as the 5th seed out of 11 teams.  Waverly Yang earned All-Conference Honors, finishing 4th in the Conference over-all.  Maddy Fee and Natalie Koehnen both earned All-Conference Honorable Mention, finishing 23rd and 28th respectively.  As a team we improved by over 18 shots per 9 hole match going from 204 in 2022 to 188 in 2023, by far the most improved team in the SEC.   Section team members are Waverly Yang, Chloe Carlson, Maddy Fee, Allison Fownes, Natalie Koehnen.  The team earned fourth place in day one of section competition and finished in 5th place for the section meet. 

Junior Waverly Yang advanced to the state meet for the second year in a row. In the section meet she finished in 5th place shooting 82 on day one and 83 on day two for a total score of 165 in the two day tournament. 

Senior Waverly Yang will tee off at 7:54 on Tuesday, June 13 on the East Course at Bunker Hills for the MSHSL AAA State Golf Meet. Tee times on Wednesday, will depend on Tuesday’s outcomes.
