Purpose Corner - For our "Welcome to West" night which was held this past December, we put together some numbers to celebrate several of the many great things that happen at West. Being that many members of the current West community did not attend, I wanted to share the page compilation that we provided to West families who will be joining us next year.
Gymnastics State - Congrats to Krista Pascavis who finished 16th in the floor exercise event this past weekend at the State gymnastics meet in Wisconsin Rapids!
State Team Wrestling - Congrats to our Wrestling team who lost their opening meet against eventual state champion Kaukauna this past Friday at the UW-Madison Fieldhouse. It was a great atmosphere and our wrestlers battled hard!!
West Cheer at State - Congrats to the West Cheer team who placed 8th in the State competition Gameday Small Division!! A special shout out to Jenna Fischer who earned All-State Non-Tumble Team!
Senior Vs. Staff Basketball Game - The game is on Friday,
March 24th. Will the Seniors finally win this year? The
faculty keeps getting older but our Senior students are the
same age, yet year after year we seem to be unbeatable! I
have a strong feeling staff will conquer once again! Please see
a recent picture I found of me in training as I have been working
hard all year to be ready for this competition... I am 89% sure
that may be me participating in the local Waukesha city slam
dunk contest last week on a 7-foot hoop... though I seem to
have lost quite a bit of hair in a short amount of time. I did not
realize the Waukesha Expo Center could hold that many
people, I took 1st out of one player (me) for my age bracket...
Wisconsin Education Fairs (WEF) - Will offer a FREE fair on Friday, March 17th, 2023, at Waukesha North High School. This is an opportunity for students to talk with admission representatives from colleges, universities, technical colleges, vocational and trade schools as well as military recruiters. Waukesha West would like to bus our JUNIOR

Bus departure and return times will be published in the West Daily Announcements closer to the day of the event.
