The mission of West Hills High School is to graduate critical thinkers and problem-solvers who contribute positively to society as productive, responsible citizens.


Happy summer!  Hopefully you have been able to relax and enjoy your summer. We have been busy on campus moving the Admin Building offices, getting new roofs on every building, and working with District staff on our Re-Opening Fall 2020 plans. Master Schedule continues to evolve since we have a QUARTER SYSTEM throughout the District this school year and many more details are being worked out with all labor unions. Everyone's health and safety remain our TOP CONCERN as we approach our return to work date of August 3 for Certificated Staff. (Counselors come back earlier; Classified return all along the way end of July / Beginning of August).

We hope you find the following information helpful:

**Please continue to text or call Admin if you want to be on campus through July 24. (Entire campus closed July 20-24 due to District ¨dark week¨) After July 24, please check in with Admin in B-2 so we know you are on campus. We are NOT encouraging any teacher or counselor to be on campus, just letting you know IF you want to come, please let us know. 

We have made progress on our Admin Building...goodbye wall paper, oak chair railing, maroon and green built ins, and all old flooring! Re-doing built ins takes the longest and we plan to be out of this building until mid-October.

And the Mail Room--no more CLUTTER! 

All of the Admin building staff and offices have moved to either the Business Building (right behind Admin) or into A-1. Our nurse, Lori Farra, needed access to water and a sink and A-1 has both. Not ideal we know, but the best we could do.  Please see this map for locations. All phone extensions remain the same. 

Our Mailroom and Copiers moved with us to the B-Building into the Center Office (door access between ASB and B-7 corridor). Please look there for any mail, sending outgoing mail, or making photocopies.
