Christmas Clearing Council - West High School recently had 8 students raise $2,000 with the support of our staff for the Christmas Clearing Council. The results were that 24 individuals from 9 different families which included parents and children were blessed with receiving some needed items this holiday season. Additionally all children received a gift as well. A well deserved thank you for the time and efforts to raise funds and purchase items to sponsor these families and making a positive impact in their lives and on our community!

Joe Schobert - Joe is a West alumni who is currently playing in the NFL for the Cleveland Browns and was a former walk-on at the University of Wisconsin. Joe comes to visit us from time to time and is an awesome person. He was an excellent student/athlete at West and continued that trend as a collegiate student/athlete. He has always had success because of his hard work and humble character. If you are interested in his story see the information recently forwarded to me below:

We wanted to inform you that Waukesha West graduate Joe Schobert is featured in the newly released book Walk-On This Way: The On-Going Legacy of the Wisconsin Football Walk-On Program. The book covers the stories of nearly 50 walk-ons from the past 25 years of Badger football. There are many compelling stories, but selecting Joe was an obvious choice for us.

Regardless of how long it has been since Joe graduated, we’re sure his name is still held in high regard in your athletic program as someone who took on an enormous challenge and made the most of his opportunity. Please share this exciting news with the West community.
