Principal Blog Week of November 7th, 2022

Purpose Corner - This week I provide information on the student dress expectations. The transcript of the video can be accessed through this link




Welcome to West Night - It is an expectation for students at West High School to stretch themselves and select a rigorous course schedule. For all underclassmen, the scheduling process happens in early February, but we encourage our students and families to begin thinking about that schedule today. All current families are welcome to attend our “Welcome to West Night” on Monday, December 5th, 2022 to connect with teachers and learn more about the courses and programs we offer at West. Below is the one-page flyer for this event, we hope to see you there!! If you are not coming please tell a friend to ensure anyone who is attending West knows about this opportunity!!



AP Testing Payment Deadline!! - This is your friendly reminder that tomorrow, Tuesday, November 8 is the last day to register for AP testing before a $40 late fee is applied! Below is the letter that was sent to all AP students and families.







AVID School of Distinction - Waukesha West has been recognized as an AVID school of distinction! This means that we are pushing our staff and students to have a college and career mindset! Our goal through AVID is to accelerate students on their path to college and careers and not remediate. This has been a goal for Waukesha West for the past few years since we have begun our implementation of AVID schoolwide. Congratulations to the staff, students, and parents of Waukesha West for this distinction as this is a team effort!!




 One-Act on to State once again!! - Congratulations to the cast and crew of the one-act play "Doubt" on their advancement to State! They achieved the top score of all nine schools in attendance! Next up is the state contest held at UW Whitewater on November 18th and 19th. Break a leg!! Please enjoy the video and pics of the play.
