WHS Climate Survey

We want to know what YOU think about your school. The information from the survey will help us improve student relationships, learning conditions, and the school’s overall environment.

YOUR answers are confidential.
Your answers will be combined with those of other school staff. No one will be told how you answered.

This survey is voluntary.

You do NOT have to answer any question if you do not want to, but we hope you will answer as many questions as you can.

Please read each question carefully, and select the number under the one answer that most closely fits your opinion. We appreciate your taking the time to do the survey.
