Woodhaven-Brownstown School District
Learning and Leading for Tomorrow
WBSD Board of Education offices are closed on Monday, July 6 in observance of Independence Day.
Due to power outage all practices, summer learning, and community engagement at Woodhaven High School scheduled for Monday, July 6, 2026 are canceled.
Happy Independence Day!
Today, we celebrate a historic milestone — the 250th Anniversary of America's Independence! 🎉
On July 4, 1776, our nation's founders signed the Declaration of Independence, beginning a journey built on freedom, opportunity, and the pursuit of a brighter future. As we mark this semiquincentennial celebration, we honor the generations who have helped shape our country and look forward to the promise of tomorrow.
From all of us at WBSD, we wish our students, families, staff, and community a safe and joyful Fourth of July filled with pride, reflection, and celebration.
❤️🤍💙 Happy 250th Birthday, America! ❤️🤍💙

Beat the Heat & Brain Drain 🧪
Looking for a way to escape the summer humidity while keeping those young brains active? The Michigan Science Center (Mi-Sci) in downtown Detroit is your absolute golden ticket. 🧠✨
This isn't a "don't touch that" kind of museum. It is 100% hands-on. Your kids can launch mini rockets, explore the physics of sound, check out a live stage show with roaring explosions, and see an immersive film at the IMAX Dome Theatre.
It’s the perfect blend of stealth-learning and high-energy fun that will actually tire them out for bedtime. Win-win!

The Ultimate Zoo Showdown 🦁
Summer is here, and it’s time to talk about the ultimate classic family day trip: The Zoo! 🦒
We are incredibly lucky to have two world-class zoos within driving distance. The real question is... which one are you hitting first?
Detroit Zoo: Home of the iconic Polk Penguin Conservation Center (seriously, walking through that underwater tunnel while penguins rocket past is unmatched) and 125 acres of beautiful walking paths.
Toledo Zoo & Aquarium: Just a quick trip down I-75! Don't miss their historic Reptile House and the massive, stunning aquarium where you can get up close with sharks and sea turtles.
Pro-tip: Pack the cooler with lunches, bring the heavy-duty stroller, and go early to beat the afternoon heat (and catch the animals while they’re active!).

#ThrowbackThursday 🐾
Take a look back at the original Wegienka Wildcat logo! Over the years, the Wildcat has undergone a transformation—from a tougher, more menacing look to the friendly and welcoming Wildcat students know today.
While the logo may have changed, the Wildcat pride has remained strong through generations of students, staff, and families.
A special thank you to the Brownstown Historical Society for sharing this piece of Wegienka history with our community!
