We are thrilled to announce that Walt Whitman High School officially opened their doors to The Wildcat Den, the new school store located directly across from the school’s main office. The Wildcat Den is stocked with Wildcat apparel, school supplies, sweet candies, and more for anyone looking to add maroon to their wardrobe or pick up basic necessities on their way to class.

Located in room 530, The Wildcat Den is adjacent to Mrs. O’Neill’s classroom where her leadership students can overlook the new school store from the uniquely situated glass windows between them. The shop will be open during lunch periods, and managed by Mrs. O’Neill’s leadership students where they can gain retail experience and share Wildcat pride with their peers and community alike. Thanks to a generous donation from the Ugenti family, the new school store was actualized and made ready for everyone to enjoy this fall. We are beyond grateful for alumni like 2020 graduate Natalie Ugenti and her family for their generosity and support of our schools and everyone else who helped in making this vision a reality!

With the first purchase of a brand new maroon backpack, The Wildcat Den is officially open for business!
