"Leadership Conference West" - On February 23rd, 2017, approximately 200 Waukesha West student-athletes attended the 5th annual West Athletics Leadership Conference at RiverGlen Church. Students worked through team building exercises, participated in seminars regarding relevant leadership topics, created action plans for their programs, and joined together for the "Pass the Torch" ceremony to close the day. We are excited to see our culture of leadership move from a one day event into a way of life at West High School through empowering student-athlete leadership! This was an amazing day as our students had intentional conversations about their leadership and how that impacts their teams and fellow peers. I could not even have fathomed doing this in high school, but to see our students and hear their thoughtful conversation was nothing short of incredible!! Kudos to our Associate Principal/Athletic Director Kyle LeMieux for empowering students to own, run and reap the benefits of this leadership summit!!
Varsity Cheerleaders - They took 3rd Place in both the Super-Small Stunt and Large Cheer-Dance Divisions at the WACPC State Cheer Competition on Saturday!! Congratulations, Ladies!
Peter Pan - The West End Players have done it again with Peter Pan! The hard work and preparation have paid off and the show is spectacular! Musical, acrobatic, funny and magical...it has it all. You cannot get any better feedback than when kids want to be your character! Below is my youngest son (who dressed himself) posing with Captain Hook!!...while my oldest is in the background acting like Peter Pan (who he wants to be) and is ready to pounce on Hook! It is a must see and they are performing again this coming weekend..please come and enjoy.

Forensics - The forensics team recently traveled to Milton High School to compete in a Friday Night Lights Tournament and took 4th place in the small team category. Five of the team's entries qualified for the finals (the power round) at the event's conclusion, and from those five, we had a 1st place finish by junior Jordan Rodrigues in his Public Address speech on the Electoral College and a 3rd place finish by freshmen Lauren Meunier and Madison Lorenz in play acting. The team is hosting a subdistrict festival tomorrow at West. This is the first gateway for students to qualify their speech and performance selections for State. Good luck to all involved!
