Student of the Month Celebrations!! - We love to celebrate our students and we do this through our "Student of the Month" recommendation process. Teachers choose students who are showing worthy attributes for recognition and send the names to us. We love to have fun and celebrate as they are called up to receive their certificate and t-shirt! Our teaching staff joins us in the office when they can!!

Clubs and Activities at West High School!! - We are fortunate to offer multiple clubs and activities for our students at West High School to engage in. Interact is a club that has continued to put service to the community first and consistently raises funds and spends time focusing on giving back. Recently they held their annual rummage sale for supporting HAWS and Wildlife in Need. They raised over $1,900.00 dollars to give to these organizations!! Thank you to Interact members for all of their hard work.
Student Council Food Drive - The Food Drive is in full swing!! Student Council cannot wait to collect your non-perishable goods to donate to the Waukesha Food Pantry. The collection started Monday, December 3rd and will end Friday, December 14th. You can donate by dropping off non-perishables in the atrium near the front of the main staircase, you cannot miss the huge amount of food that is starting to accumulate!! We are hoping to beat last year’s donation record again! Thanks again for helping in the largest donation to the Waukesha Food Pantry every year!
Graduation Information 2019 - Graduation day for the all three Waukesha legacy high schools will be Saturday, June 8th, 2019. 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, graduation times among all three high schools are staggered per usual 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.
Challenge Day Momentum - I will continue to update some of the things we will be doing to keep our momentum from Challenge Day! I encourage anyone to access the Challenge Day website to learn more about it. https://www.challengeday.org/
Raptor System - The Raptor system is a district-wide safety tool that is being implemented at all schools. in case you did not see the note from our district, it is below for your convenience. West High School will require all individuals to check-in using the "Raptor" system when you enter the building every time. This is now our official check-in and check-out system. I ask that all community members be courteous to our front desk staff as they implement these procedures per my directive. If you have an issue or concern please contact me, Principal Ryan Patt, directly. Thank you.
Dear parents and guardians,
We would like to make you aware of a security upgrade at all of our schools. Beginning Monday, Nov. 27, all visitors who enter a school building during normal school hours will be required to check into the school office and present a valid Identification ( Drivers License, State Issued ID, Military ID, or Consular ID ). Upon arrival, your identification will be scanned using the Raptor Visitor Management System. This software was purchased using funds provided by the State of Wisconsin School Safety Grant. Raptor provides immediate, real-time background checks on individuals to identify sex offenders and deny them entry. Once a visitor has been scanned, the system will print a visitor ID badge that is worn by the visitor for the duration of their visit. We ask that the visitor present their ID each time they visit and a new visitor badge will be printed. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding with this new procedure and know that you share our desire to keep our students and our buildings safe. Thank you.
