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.
A great story... - CBS 58 produced an outstanding feature story for their Sunday Morning Spotlight on West High School student Luis Gutierrez and him growing up in a house with parents who are deaf and hard of hearing. This story aired this past Sunday and is just plain cool for all involved.....

Dress Code Reminders - Once again, I want to remind students about our dress code policy. Our school has a dress code under the same premise that any business/workplace etc. will have a dress code. Below is the narrative from our "Student Handbook" on Dress & grooming expectations.
Dress and Grooming
Student attire must be respectful of others and appropriate for the educational setting at West High School. Clothing that causes a distraction or disruption in the school or creates a health or safety risk is deemed inappropriate for student dress.
- The following dress is not allowed as it may disrupt the educational setting:
- No bare midriffs.
- No strapless tops, or low cut tops.
- Appropriate length shorts and skirts are expected. Appropriateness will be determined on a case-by-case basis through the office.
- No visible boxer shorts with loose, low pants.
- No hats, bandanas, hoodies, or other headwear (ethnic or religious headwear is acceptable) may be worn during the school day.
- Students are expected to remove headwear upon entering the building and during the school day.
- No coats, jackets, or outerwear is allowed. These must be stored in the
student’s locker.
- Clothing that has lettering, advertisement of tobacco, alcohol or other drugs, weapons, or designs considered in poor taste
- Backpacks are not allowed during the school day; they must remain in the assigned student locker.
Apprenticeship Signing Day - West High School and the School District of Waukesha have so many options for students to pursue. I believe that the diversity of offerings we have for students to choose from and learn about make our district the best in the State of Wisconsin. We want to continue to celebrate the different paths our students may take, that they can be prepared for in our school and district. It started with our first ever signing day for an apprenticeship between student Hunter Heaney and Tri-North Builders. Hunter is currently a dual-enrollment student at WCTC where he has classes at West and then goes to WCTC to take college classes focused on his apprenticeship training in the afternoon. Companies seek to hire students from the program and continue to support them in training as they begin work in the field while getting paid, a great opportunity!! See the tweet below that says it all and thanks to district CTE Coordinator Mollie Haubenschild for making this event happen to celebrate our student's success!
Principal Advisory Council - Below are the names of the individuals on the Principal Advisory Council for 2018-2019. We met this past Wednesday, April 17th.
