Jersey Thursday was a hit! We rocked all the teams! Tomorrow we paint the town PINK with our PINK OUT for the big game!
It's Friday Eve!
Pink is the new West Red! 😉 It's a Pink Out for "Share the Love Day" and the East/West game! Head on over to the Kindness Banner during school and show our Colts and yourself some love by writing a positive message on a conversation heart! 💕#jessbekind #kindessweek2025 #coltpride
West High physics students used their knowledge of forces, kinematics, and impulse and momentum to design, build, and test a device to protect an egg from a one story drop. Today, they found out whether their devices were successful or not, wrote a lab report and learned from both the successes and the failures. Well done, Ms. Hawley's class!
Two greats - Pete Rose and Johnny Bench - in the house for jersey day!
(Honorable mention: Mr. Marsh and Mrs. Schuerman)

Let's take a moment to give a huge shout-out to Jen Andrews, our incredible Youth Service Center Coordinator! Jen's dedication and passion for our students and community are truly inspiring, and we are so incredibly lucky to have her.
She has a knack for understanding the unique needs of each student and works tirelessly to ensure they have the tools and support they need to succeed. Her office is a safe space, a place where students know they can find a listening ear, a helping hand, and someone who genuinely cares.
