West Talent Show - This is one of the best events that take place at West High School. I have enjoyed the talents of our students when this show has been put on. Please sign up and try out as we want to see students shine! See the information below:
It is time for our students to sign up for the 2019 Waukesha West Talent Show! Students, if you have a passion for singing, dancing, spoken word, athletics magic tricks or anything unique to you, this is the show for you!! Sign up sheets are available in either the office (see Mrs. Dominick) or Mr. Jonas in F033. Both students and faculty are welcome to perform. If you have questions, see Mr. Jonas for details. Let's put on a great show, West!
Ignition Mentors 2019-2020 - Did you know that West High School has the best peer mentoring program in the state of Wisconsin and I would contest it is the best in the entire nation. Every year the program says goodbye to Seniors and welcomes the opportunity for new faces from students in any grade level. We had around 100 mentors get trained this year during their "train" day as they begin the process of preparing the activities for our incoming Freshmen students for the 2019-2020 school year. This is one of the many outstanding leadership opportunities we have for students at West High School. Please enjoy the pictures as they learn team building activities that improve their leadership capacity while practicing the implementation of these activities for when Freshmen come in for theirAll-Freshman day in the summer! The teams have to build the tallest balloon tower while tied together at the wrist with limited time and adhesive material... it was fun to watch.
AVID Elective - West High School is in its first year of AVID implementation. We have two components, one of them is AVID schoolwide and the other is the AVID elective. This year we have one section of about 24 sophomore students who are in the AVID elective. Next year we are adding two more AVID elective classes so we will have an elective class for 9th, 10th and 11th-grade students for next year. That process is being finalized as we recently invited our current 9th-grade students who have been chosen for the AVID elective for next year, to collaborate with our current AVID elective students to ask questions and learn the ropes while signing their commitment contracts and having cake. Excited to see our currently AVID students leading our future program members!
Grades & Fees - January 18th, marked the end of Semester 1 and grades for the first semester have been posted. Please log in to your Infinite Campus Parent Portal to view your student's grades.
