Leadership. Service. Innovation.
Coming this fall, Whiteland Community High School students will have a new opportunity to develop real-world leadership skills through our new Army JROTC program with a unique focus on drone technology and career readiness.
Beginning in the 2026-27 school year, WCHS students will have the opportunity to participate in our new Army JROTC program, providing another pathway for students to develop leadership skills, character, citizenship, and career readiness. The program will feature a unique focus on drone technology and emerging career fields while helping students build confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills that will benefit them long after graduation.
Led by retired Lieutenant Colonel David Resler and retired First Sergeant Phillip Kightlinger, this new program is designed for all students—not just those interested in military service. JROTC emphasizes leadership development, community service, academic achievement, and preparing students for success in college, careers, and life.
We are proud to continue expanding opportunities for our students and providing meaningful pathways that help them discover their passions and prepare for their future.

🏗️ From Vision to Reality: A Historic Night for Whiteland Community High School
Last night, we had the privilege of celebrating a historic milestone for Whiteland Community High School as students, staff, families, community members, sponsors, and partners gathered for the ribbon cutting of our new academic wing.
A project of this magnitude takes an entire community, and we are so grateful to everyone who helped make the evening such a success.
Thank you to Grafton Peek Catering for the delicious refreshments, Carrie Muse for creating the beautiful custom cookies, and Andrew Prince for generously sponsoring them. We also appreciate Raising Cane's for donating drinks for our guests to enjoy.
A special thank you to Charrie Stambaugh Photography for capturing the memories of this historic evening and to Soniya Davis of Elevated Elegance Decor for the stunning balloon displays that added the perfect touch to the celebration.
We were honored to be welcomed by the sounds of the Whiteland Community High School Jazz Band and the beautiful performance of our National Anthem by Shades of Blue.
Thank you to our outstanding student volunteers from Spanish Honor Society, French Honor Society, Student Council, and National Honor Society who led tours throughout the building and proudly showcased their school. We also appreciate Lucas Corley and our talented media students for documenting this milestone for future generations.
On a personal note, I would like to extend a special thank you to Communications Interns Sophie Rinehold and Kylie McGovern. These two young women spent countless hours helping plan, organize, prepare materials, coordinate details, and ensure everything came together seamlessly. Their hard work behind the scenes played a significant role in the success of the evening, and I am incredibly grateful for their dedication, professionalism, and enthusiasm throughout this project.
To our distinguished guests, community partners, sponsors, families, staff members, and parents—thank you for joining us and sharing in this special moment. Your support, partnership, and belief in our students make projects like this possible.
It was truly a beautiful night filled with excitement, pride, and anticipation for the future. We are thrilled to begin this new chapter for Whiteland Community High School and look forward to the opportunities this incredible facility will provide for generations of Warriors to come.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! 💙🧡
Today, the halls of Whiteland Community High School were filled with excitement, laughter, memories, and maybe just a few nervous butterflies as the Class of 2026 gathered together one final time for graduation practice before tomorrow’s big moment. 🎓🧡💙
It felt a little like the final pages of a favorite children’s book — the part where the characters realize just how much they’ve grown before turning the page to a brand new chapter.
Tomorrow, these seniors will walk across the stage ready to chase dreams, create new adventures, and discover all the places life will take them. But today was about something just as important: pausing to reflect on the people who helped them along the way.
At the conclusion of practice, the Senior Class surprised Mr. Matt Anderson with a very special recognition. After serving as Dean for the last three years, Mr. Anderson has gone far beyond his role to support this class. From academics and tutoring to mentorship, encouragement, and simply being someone students could count on, he has made a lasting impact on countless lives.
To honor that impact, the entire Class of 2026 presented Mr. Anderson with a special Clark-Pleasant Education Foundation Senior Class Legacy Award — a recognition given on behalf of the entire graduating class for the difference he has made in their lives.
Sometimes the most important part of the story isn’t just where you’re going… it’s the people who helped you get there.
Congratulations, Class of 2026. Your next chapter begins tomorrow.

Thankful Thursday
“Teamwork makes the dream work!” That was certainly true this last week in the Whiteland Community High School Nutrition Pathway classrooms!
Our students shared their appreciation for teachers while also meeting important career and classroom standards. Students created a special Teacher Appreciation Lunch experience by offering teachers a menu to choose from and then planning, preparing, and delivering the meals themselves.
Teachers selected an entrée, two housemade side dishes, freshly made dressing, and an irresistible dessert!
Through this project, students demonstrated real-world career skills including time management, communication, leadership, teamwork, and work ethic. They also met standards for planning and preparing nutritionally sound meals, including accommodations for specialty diets, allergies, and calorie and macro goals.
We love seeing our students use their talents and skills to serve others while preparing for future careers. Great job to our Nutrition Pathway students and staff for making this such a meaningful experience!

⚾️ Honoring a Legacy. Celebrating a Tradition.
Today at Whiteland Community High School, between our Varsity Doubleheader against Seymour High School, we had the incredible opportunity to recognize the teams that started it all.
We proudly honored the 1967, 1968, 1969, and 1970 Warriors—the first four sectional champions in Indiana High School Athletic Association baseball history. These teams didn’t just win games…they built the foundation of a winning tradition that still defines Whiteland baseball today.
💙 And what a testament to that legacy—players traveled from near and far to be part of this special day:
• Rex Fleming made the trip from Florida
• Jody Corbin even cut his Florida vacation short to be here
• Mike Nachand returned from his son’s wedding
• Tim Bayless traveled from Bloomington
• Gary Hudson joined us from West Lafayette
That kind of commitment speaks volumes.
This celebration also marked another “first” as we welcomed these champions to our newly turfed baseball field, honoring the past while stepping into the future of Warrior baseball.
📸 The historic photo featured in this post comes from the Daily Journal and captures a special moment in time—pitcher Jody Corbin and catcher Butch Zike holding the trophy presented to the 1968 Whiteland baseball team after winning the Johnson County Tournament.
⚾️ The history behind these teams is just as impressive:
• In 1967, the Warriors captured the first-ever IHSAA sectional title, powered by an explosive eight-run fourth inning and a four-hit shutout from Rex Fleming
• In 1968, Whiteland repeated as champions behind Tim Bayless’ dominant three-hit shutout, striking out eight and allowing no walks
• In 1969, the Warriors made it three straight, with Rusty Fleming allowing just two early hits before shutting the door the rest of the game
• By 1970, Whiteland had secured four consecutive sectional championships—an unmatched start to a program’s legacy
From those first four sectional titles to becoming the first Johnson County school to reach the IHSAA Final Four in 1985, the tradition is strong—and it all started with these teams and their legendary coach, Larry Bledsoe, who was undefeated in sectional play.
📸 A special moment came as these alumni took the field once again—this time alongside our current WCHS baseball team—a powerful reminder that generations of Warriors are forever connected.
Today wasn’t just about baseball.
It was about legacy, pride, and the enduring spirit of being a Warrior.
👏 Thank you to these players, coaches, and families for building something that continues to inspire.

Today at Whiteland Community High School, between our Varsity Doubleheader against Seymour High School, we had the incredible opportunity to recognize the teams that started it all.
We proudly honored the 1967, 1968, 1969, and 1970 Warriors—the first four sectional champions in Indiana High School Athletic Association baseball history. These teams didn’t just win games…they built the foundation of a winning tradition that still defines Whiteland baseball today.
💙 And what a testament to that legacy—players traveled from near and far to be part of this special day:
• Rex Fleming made the trip from Florida
• Jody Corbin even cut his Florida vacation short to be here
• Mike Nachand returned from his son’s wedding
• Tim Bayless traveled from Bloomington
• Gary Hudson joined us from West Lafayette
That kind of commitment speaks volumes.
This celebration also marked another “first” as we welcomed these champions to our newly turfed baseball field, honoring the past while stepping into the future of Warrior baseball.

🍽️ Real-World Learning in Action 🍽️
Mrs. Norcross’s Nutrition Planning and Therapy class went on a field trip to experience elevated cuisine that still meets nutritional requirements at Seasons 52.
Students had the opportunity to try food they may not have experienced before and to taste thoughtful, well-composed meals produced in an efficient, professional kitchen. The class was delighted with both their meals and the service—and were surprised to learn that each dish came in at under 595 calories, with careful attention to nutrient balance and a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients.
Beyond the meal, some students also took the opportunity to network with restaurant staff, sharing their own experiences and asking thoughtful questions about the culinary field.
Experiences like this bring classroom learning to life in the most delicious way!
