Every student who attends will receive a free meal by completing the College and Career passport handout.
HEROIN Follow Up -
A visual backdrop of nearly 200 pairs of shoes belonging to teenagers who have passed away from drug overdoses set the tone for “Stairway to Heroin,” a program at South High school that offered raw dialogue and chilling statistics about the dangers of prescription painkillers. Remember FOUR pairs of those shoes minimum belong to former WEST students. Opiate drug overdoses have now surpassed car crashes as the leading cause of death in Waukesha County, and the source of the drug is often in our medicine cabinets. The message? Keep your prescription drugs locked up.

I know the energy and excitement was electric as 200 plus stormed the gym in support! The Super Fan support was amazing to see and appreciated!
Beard for Change - As a teaching staff we are fortunate to work with groups of students who look to support their schools and local community. So many of our student groups volunteer time and raise funds for giving to organizations that will maximize the funding for high quality impact in the lives of our community members. Well....students rub off on teachers as well and currently we are providing an opportunity for students to support us if they would like for a great cause to positively impact our greater area community.
