Graduation Information - 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.

Inaugural West Auto Show!! - Please consider coming to join the first-ever Waukesha West Auto Show! Please see the flyer below for information. Would love to see community members, students and parents attend!! This is a community event.





Important School Fees!! - For the past few months, I have included a blurb about school fees in this blog and the importance of utilizing our Infinite Campus system for checking fees and grades. With graduation coming up I want to remind all Seniors that not paying past or current fees could result in not walking for graduation. We want to do all we can as a school to work with families to avoid any loss of privilege because of unpaid fees so please pay your fees or reach out to Kirsten Ellsworth my Administrative Assistant to ask questions regarding your circumstance. For all other students, please do the same so you do not accumulate fees and end up in a difficult situation as a Senior. Infinite Campus is also a resource to check on student progress...please utilize this system to stay engaged with the academics of your child.

Waukesha Education Foundation (WEF) - The Waukesha Education Foundation has been supporting students in the school district of Waukesha for many years. The WEF raises money and grants that money through their application process to teachers looking to enhance student learning. In my ten years in the school district, I have seen the impact of the WEF directly within our classrooms. The WEF wants to fill every grant request and is always looking to take strides to improve its funding for grants. Please check out their website here to see some of the ways they are looking to increase the funding for grant requests. They have their annual golf outing this summer that I am looking forward to participating in, please see the information below and consider supporting the WEF as they do great things for kids in our schools!!! The WEF Executive Director Lynnette Kalmadge is available to connect with you about golf outing registration and any questions regarding the WEF. Her contact is execdirector@waukesha.k12.wi.us



REGISTRATION IS OPEN! 
Celebrate summer by teeing off with other business & community leaders with a round of golf. Lunch and Dinner are provided, as well as a reception, raffle & both a silent and live auction. (A cash bar will be available.) All proceeds go towards supporting students and educators in the School District of Waukesha.
