Students met with the Youth Career & Talent Specialist, Mrs. Morris, today from the Kentucky Career Center. The "Putting Young Kentuckians to Work" initiative, part of the KCC, aims to equip individuals aged 16-24 with skills and opportunities for high-demand jobs, focusing on work readiness, sector training, pathways to employment, and employment support. It is so rewarding to see our student commit to their next steps! #coltpride #nextsteps

Never a dull day at West High! We started with an 8:30 burst pipe, that lead to some serious flooding in the back lobby.
Fortunately, when crisis occurs, everyone jumps in! Thank you to our custodial and district maintenance crews who took care of the standing water by 9:30!
The valve has been shut off and doesn't impact the main building water supply. Back to business!
Let's have a smooth last week before a much needed break!
