It was a busy night at West High as the choirs took to the stage for their last concert of the year...
The Colts took to the field to make it back to back wins over the Jags and seal the #1 spot in the district...
And Tyler Giles took to the mound to pitch the full game W after signing to continuing playing at Frontier Community College.
A great night for the Colts!

It’s Teacher Appreciation Week, and we just have to say… we’ve got the BEST teachers around. 💙
Seriously—thank you for everything you do. The early mornings, the after-school help, the “did you check Google Classroom?” reminders (over and over 😅), and the way you show up for students every single day.
You make a bigger impact than you probably realize, and our school is better because of you.
Take a minute to drop a comment and shout out a teacher who’s made a difference—we’d love to show them some extra love this week!

Last one, best one! 🙌
The pep rally today may have come with a little chill in the air, but that didn’t stop us one bit. Popsicles were still the perfect treat, the energy was high, and the fun showed up in full force.
From relays to volleyball to water balloon tennis, there was no shortage of action—and the best part? Teachers and students joined in the fun. And hey...who doesn't want the opportunity to pie Mr. Marsh in the face? He was such a good sport! Love our Colt family!💙❤️

Today we’re celebrating the incredible bus drivers of WJHS! 🚌💙
They start their mornings before most alarms go off, navigate traffic like pros, and somehow know exactly who’s trying to sprint to the bus at the last second. They keep our students safe, on time, and headed in the right direction every day.
Thank you for your patience, your dedication, and your ability to handle early mornings, endless stops, and teenage conversations before sunrise. That alone deserves an award.
We appreciate all you do for WJHS—you truly keep this place rolling!
