Advice from WC Alumni

At Whittier Christian High School, our graduates remind us that the years spent here are more than a chapter; they are the foundation for a meaningful life. Their words come from real experiences filled with faith, friendship, and growth. They have faced challenges, taken risks, and learned what matters most. The advice shared on this page is not about perfection or success stories. It is about perspective and heart from those who once stood where our students stand today.
 
As you read their reflections, you will hear reminders to stay grounded, to show up for people, and to trust that faith and character carry you further than talent or luck ever could. Our alumni encourage every student to make the most of each season, even the hard ones, and to keep chasing purpose long after graduation. If you are a Herald graduate, we invite you to share your own words of wisdom and encouragement using the form below so that future students can be inspired by your story.
