Vendor Fair - Thank you to all staff, students, and community members who participated in our inaugural vendor fair this past weekend on our campus.

U.S. News High School Rankings - Today U.S. News & World Report published their rankings for nearly 18,000 public high schools, accompanied by school-specific data on enrollment, graduation rates, student body demographics, free and reduced-price lunch, location, school type, and state assessment results. Waukesha West High School was ranked as number 1,579 out of 17,857 high schools nationally and number 38 out of 540 high schools statewide based on U.S. News criteria. That puts West High School in the top 9% of schools in our nation and the top 7% in our state!! This is a celebration of the entire West community!
