Purpose Corner -This week I want to highlight all of the great work our teaching staff has been doing to work with their students and provide them an outstanding learning environment. You can access the transcript of the video through this link.

Graduation 2023 - I cannot believe we are so close to graduation day!!! Waukesha West High Schools' graduation ceremony will be held on Saturday, June 10th, 2023. Will be holding graduation ceremonies in the West Fieldhouse beginning at 1:00 P.M. All of the information that is needed for graduation is linked here in this "Graduation Letter." This information has been sent to students and families and is available on the West website as well. Please begin informing friends and family who will be attending! Below is the picture of our Senior Wall where everyone gets to see what our Seniors are going to be doing after graduation, we are excited for them to be moving on to great adventures in the near future and thankful we can celebrate them!

Scholar Athlete Banquet - Congratulations to our scholar athletes who were recognized for their outstanding achievement while participating in athletics. Along with recognizing student/athletes at all grade levels, our Senior scholar/athletes were given specific awards based on their leadership. It was a great event and congrats to all scholar/athletes who were recognized by having a minimum 3.5 GPA for Semester one of this school year! Below are some pics of the event...

Prom 2023 - Prom is this Saturday, May 6th at the Ingleside Hotel in Waukesha. Doors will open at 6:00 P.M. with dinner starting at 6:45 P.M. The dance will go until 11:00 P.M. All those attending are subject to a random breathalyzer test as they enter the Ingleside as part of our entrance protocol. All guests filled out an admittance form that laid out rules and expectations for the event, so lets make this a great event as it has been annually with exceptional students behavior!! The final narrative is dancing properly... Partner dancing is expected to be tasteful and respectful: i.e. vertical and face to face!
