    I started my years at West High School as an incoming sophomore, and my very first day I was greeted by so many nice teacher and students. Now don't get me wrong, West High is definitely a school to concern you, but underneath all that we all know how to keep each other safe and stay focused. But, Know this, West is not for everyone. I graduated class of 2018.

    I love the theatre and sports there, I also have access to a lot of help if needed, and I have tons of friends that support me. Bullying is not as high as everyone thinks, West is a community and very diverse. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
    At West high school, I appreciate the fact that the staff treat each student fairly and that they understand the situations each student may go through.
