High Schools Want Our Graduates
Our Transition Program helps 8th graders leave Whitehall Prep fully prepared for high school academically, socially, and emotionally.
We guide families through applications, test prep, and interviews, helping students earn spots and scholarships at some of the top private high schools in Ohio.
With the right support, our students don’t just get in. They stand out.

We had so much fun celebrating our 8th graders with their teachers and families today! We can’t wait to see what you succeed in High School!
Research shows students who move regularly are more focused, less stressed, and better prepared to learn.
That’s why fitness is built into every day at Performance Academies.

At Performance High School, we don’t just focus on academics — we focus on the whole child.
Every day, our students participate in intentional character education lessons designed to help them grow into responsible, confident, and resilient young adults. We believe academic knowledge matters, but so do integrity, discipline, leadership, and strong decision-making skills.
Preparing students for life after high school means developing both strong minds and strong character. That’s the Performance standard.

Whitehall Preparatory and Fitness Academy is pleased to present the Golden Shoe for the week of February 13, 2026 is our amazing 3C! These group of students that spend their daily classroom with Ms. Mehret and Ms. Dilly have worked extremely hard on their martial arts this week. They have shown amazing dedication to their martial arts practice. Their forms are sharp, their focus is strong, and they are well on their way to earning their next belt level. What truly makes this group shine is their teamwork. These third graders constantly support one another, helping classmates master each step of their Kata with encouragement and positivity. We are so proud of their hard work, discipline, and commitment — and we can’t wait to see how far they go next. Keep rising, 3C!
Just a reminder... there is no school this week due to our winter break. We will see everyone on Monday, February 23.
If your student is in grades 3-8 please make sure to complete your packet and return it on the 23rd.
Have a safe and relaxing week!
Whitehall Students Shine in Dr. King Oratorical
On January 22, 2026, students at Whitehall Preparatory and Fitness Academy honored the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the school’s second annual Dr. King Oratorical Contest organized by Mrs. Milbry. There were two divisions, 3rd-5th grade and Middle School.
Congratulations to Hayleigh Murphy, winner of the 3rd–5th grade division, and Shamaya Carter, winner of the middle school division. Both scholars delivered inspiring speeches that reflected Dr. King’s message of equality and leadership.
On February 7, Mrs. Milbry accompanied Hayleigh to the citywide regional contest at Columbus State Community College. It was a wonderful experience, and Hayleigh proudly represented Whitehall with confidence and excellence.
