West is an amazing school with amazing people! I had the opportunity to work with many excellent teachers over the years, all of whom helped me become a better student. I made a lot of friends, and I've made so many lasting memories that I'll treasure forever. The only thing that would've made it better was air conditioning.
I love Mankato West High School. When I first came into the school as a freshman, I was scared. I thought that the older kids were going to be mean to freshmen, but on the contrary, they were some of the nicest people I know. They welcomed all of the freshmen with open arms. The only thing I would change about the school is that there is no Air Conditioning. Otherwise it is an amazing place to further your education!
