A new edition of the West Hills Wolf Call was published earlier this week...check it out for news and information sent to our students and parents. 

Image result for family surveyThank you Period 3 teachers and staff for helping us gather and follow up with students and their parents on our Family Survey. This important information was needed to secure funding for West Hills and the entire district for next year under our Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) adopted by the state 4 years ago. We met our goal as a District for 56.56% of parents indicating they met the criteria for socioeconomically disadvantaged. We needed 55% or better to meet our current funding status and we did that. So THANK YOU to ALL! It is a big challenge to get information returned to us from our students and we did it! 


Our Reflections Tree is looking great in the office and filled with POSITIVE energy! Thank you all participated and in having our students participate! 


Need some laughs? Please join us for a great night of comedy sponsored by our own WHHS Foundation!
All proceeds benefit WHHS!
