School Safety -  SRP or "Standard Response Protocol" is the framework and language we use at West High School for school safety. To find out more information about how this process was developed and how it works, please go to https://iloveuguys.org/  The video below gives a brief preview of what this looks like in schools.

Model UN at West - Today, Monday, February 25, students from Arrowhead, Brookfield East, Mukwonago, and Kettle Moraine joined Waukesha West High School for its first-ever Mini-Model United Nations Conference. In this day-long simulation over 60 students represented 14 different countries around the world in an attempt to solve some of today's most pressing issues: 21st Century Cyber Security, Renewable Energy in Sustainable Development, Treatment of Prisoners, and Violence Against Women. Students had to research these issues from their country's perspective, then effectively argue for resolutions following Parliamentary Procedure. See the itinerary for the day to understand their process and enjoy the pictures of the event.
