Whiting High School

What Whiting High School does

School City of Whiting is a public K-12 school district serving the community of Whiting, Indiana, operating three physical schools across the full grade spectrum: Nathan Hale Elementary (Pre-K through 5th grade), Whiting Middle School (grades 6-8), and Whiting High School (grades 9-12). The district is governed by an elected school board and led by Superintendent David Verta, with site-level leadership provided by MS/HS Principal Dave Borsits, Assistant Principal Jorge Torres, Dean/Athletic Director Adam Musielak, and Nathan Hale Elementary Principal Julie Pearson. Programs include core academics, Advanced Placement coursework, special education, English Language Learner support, Title I reading intervention, athletics, performing arts, and college preparation through early college pathways.

The district's technology stack is built primarily on two vendor relationships: Apptegy powers the district and school websites, content management, and mobile applications (iOS and Android), while Skyward provides the Student Information System and Family Access Portal through which parents and students access grades, attendance, and academic information. The central administrative office at 1500 Center Street coordinates district operations including payroll, accounts payable, technology, maintenance, food services, and transportation. District communications span a Facebook presence, a YouTube channel, mobile apps, and the Apptegy-hosted website.

As a government state entity under Indiana education authority, School City of Whiting does not generate commercial revenue. Funding flows from local property taxes, Indiana state education funding formulas, and federal education grants, with no tuition charged to in-district families. Strategic technology vendor relationships (Apptegy, Skyward) and state accountability reporting (Indiana GPS) form the operational backbone, while the College Board's AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award reflects progress in advanced course participation.

• Skyward: Vendor providing the district's Student Information System (Family Access Portal). Ecosystem enabler rather than competitor; comparable peer insight comes from how Skyward-served districts across Indiana and the U.S. adopt adjacent SIS-integrated tools.
