Today the School, Tomorrow the World. “Global Education for a Global Society”

Greetings C/O ’23 Rough Riders!

My Name is Mr. DL Wilhite and I proud to serve as your college and career coordinator. Your senior year

will be one of the most important years of your life, especially because you will be making important

decisions about what you would like to do after you graduate. The good thing is, you are not alone! I will

be here this year to support you through the process as you are deciding to

Before we get started on the work that we will be doing together I’d like to take a moment to introduce

myself. I was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky. After graduating, I left home to attend the

University of Minnesota where I studied history and played football. Shortly after graduating I moved to

Dallas, Texas where I worked as a teacher. I’ve been in DC for the past 5 years supporting students as

they pursue their dream colleges and careers.

This year I look forward to meeting each one of you. I’m excited to learn more about your personal story,

and the impact that you want to make in this world. I believe that with support we can all go on to

accomplish our biggest dreams and goals. Please understand that regardless of your background, you can

make anything happen if you are willing to put the work in. I hope that I can be one of your biggest

advocates as you are chasing your dreams. So how can I help you? Come see me when you need help

with:

• Determining your plan once you graduate

• Identifying and applying for colleges.

• Applying for financial aid and scholarships

• Finding a job

• Getting an apprenticeship or a trade.

• Opportunities in the military.

• And more!!!

Class of 2023 students and families, I got y’all! I am committed to your success both academically and

outside of the classroom. Please know that my door is always open, and you can always reach out to me

with any questions, concerns that you may have. I look forward to working with you all this year and

together we will make 2023 the best graduating class yet.

Best,

Mr. DL Wilhite
