Graduation 2017 Dates & Times: Graduation day for the all three Waukesha legacy high schools will be June 10th, 2017. Waukesha West High School will be holding graduation ceremonies in the West Fieldhouse on this date beginning at 2:00 P.M. As we are one community divided into three high schools, this year graduation times among all three high schools are staggered to enable friends and family to attend multiple ceremonies if they so choose. South High School ceremonies will begin at 10:00 A.M. and North High School ceremonies will begin at 12:00 P.M. on this date. Please begin informing friends and family who will be attending.

Project Graduation - Every year our parent community puts on an amazing event for West graduating Seniors known as "Project Graduation." You cannot truly understand all of the work and effort that goes into to making this go off without a hitch and more importantly a culminating event to celebrate our Seniors after a four year journey through our halls. Please access the link below if you would like to check out how you can help out through volunteering your time or supporting this event through donations..... Project Graduation Website Link
