Thank you to all of the amazing faculty, staff and students that made our Freshman Showcase night such a success!  We can't begin to recognize all the individual efforts you made to take a cold rainy night and turn it into such a positive experience for so many incoming students and their families.  While we didn't get to show our campus and classrooms, our energy and spirit that makes our facilities shine was nothing less than impressive. With over 800 people in attendance, this was a GREAT SHOWING.   Here are some photos from a wide array of programs and presentations throughout the night. YOU make West Hills the great school community it is!

Tuesday, Feb. 19 is the "You are Enough--You have Potential" Assembly. In conjunction with the Globetrotter Organization, ASB and our own Guidance office, we wanted to let you know that our special Assembly Tuesday will be very different than our typical spirit assemblies. Our theme is "You Are Enough: You Have Potential", validating and encouraging every person in their life journey to date.  Like Jeff Armstrong, you can work hard, fulfill your school and work passions, and live a fulfilling and wonderful life. There will be a mix of inspiration, celebration, (Honor Roll, Alpha Plus, and Perfect Attendance students) and exhortation to "be your best at any given point and time". A representative from the Globetrotter Organization will be honoring Jeff Armstrong with his family and "retiring" his Generals jersey from his time playing with them. There will also be inspiration from West Hills students and staff video taped for a special message to all in our community, and more. 

We hope everyone in our school community will attend one of the two Assemblies. 

Please take a look at this Assembly schedule. We look forward to a celebration of the unique gifts and opportunity each of us has and to encouraging students in the same. Go Wolf Pack!
