West's Got Talent - Hey West! On Tuesday, March the 28th, auditions will be held in Room F033 for the West's Got Talent Show 2017. Be sure your audition sheet is handed in to either Ms. Dominic or Mr. Jonas prior to the audition. You cannot be in the show without an audition. This show has blown me away with the talents of our students. I cannot wait to see what the mixture of talent for this year....sign up and let us see your talents!!


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
