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.
