As he leaves WHS, Luebbert said he was proud of the upgrade in the technology at the high school during his tenure.  “We now have Chromebooks in all the classrooms and the faculty has been trained to use them as part of their curriculum,” Luebbert said.

He was also proud of the turnaround in school pride.  “I had heard what a great following the Wildcats had then when I got here I didn’t see it,” said Luebbert.  “But now, we are coming around and seeing some success and the fans are coming back.”
