Inspiring Dreams, Equipping Lives

Tiger Ambassadors

Tiger Ambassadors

At Warsaw Community Schools, we believe strong schools build strong communities. That’s why the Tiger Ambassador Program connects local leaders, parents and partners with the people and purpose behind our classrooms. It’s a unique behind-the-scenes look at Warsaw Community Schools.

Through monthly field trips, conversations with administrators and immersive experiences, Ambassadors discover how WCS operates, plans and innovates to serve more than 6,700 students each day. The Tiger Ambassador program continues to deepen relationships and spark new ideas that strengthen our community and schools alike.

What to Expect as a Tiger Ambassador

The Tiger Ambassador Program offers behind-the-scenes experiences designed to help community members better understand how Warsaw Community Schools operates from classrooms to boardrooms!

  • Discover what drives Warsaw Community Schools. Meet the admin team, explore our mission, and learn about our organizational structures and the systems that keep WCS running (like transportation, athletics, and food service).

  • Step into the shoes of a school principal and experience a day in their life. Learn about the routines, challenges and celebrations that define school leadership. 

  • See the big picture of how WCS plans for the future. Topics include facility planning and maintenance, safety and security and strategic leadership at the board level.

  • Understand how WCS funds staff, programming, facilitlies improvements, etc.  Learn the ins and outs of school funding, including state support for the education fund and local contributions to the operating fund.

  • Dive into the WCS guaranteed and viable curriculum. Explore how policies are set, how the community is involved in curriculum adoption and how academic innovation takes place districtwide.

  • Throughout the year, Tiger Ambassadors may have optional “extra credit” experiences. These might include classroom visits, special construction or facility tours, and other behind-the-scenes moments designed to help you dive even deeper into life at WCS.
