Charlie Kirk was more than a national leader. He was one of our own, a proud graduate of Wheeling High School whose life was tragically cut short. His journey from our community to the national stage is a testament to what faith, perseverance, and leadership can achieve.

Today, District 214 has the opportunity to recognize Charlie’s impact and ensure students are encouraged to speak freely, lead boldly, and dream big. By signing this petition, you are helping us call for recognition of Charlie as a notable alumnus, approval of student-led Turning Point USA chapters, and the creation of a “Charlie Kirk Day of Honor.”
