Please welcome our newest addition to the Wolf Pack, Special Education Aide Robert Williams.
Robert will be working with our Mod / Severe students and teachers. Welcome Robert!
Please join us in CELEBRATING our terrific Counseling Secretary, Mrs. Pam Crenshaw as our Classified Employee of the Year! Pam has worked in our Guidance office since 2003 and is the "glue" to holding all of the millions pieces of information regarding all things Guidance related in one place! One
parent sent me this email, noting in part…”Mrs. Crenshaw stands out amongst all
of the wonderful staff at West Hills. She is remarkably supportive. Her
exceptional professionalism and caring attitude made us feel informed [as
incoming 9th parents and student]. When we did not know where to
turn for answers, we learned to start with Mrs. Crenshaw. She makes the Wolf Pack
so very special. West Hills and the Grossmont District are lucky to have her.” We could not have said this any better!
Congratulations Pam! Thank you for making West Hills such a great place to learn and work!
On Tuesday February 9th, our Advanced/Honors Theatre class had a virtual field trip with the La Jolla Playhouse for a Playwriting Workshop, and we had so much fun practicing writing dialogue with improvisation games! This experience was made possible through a grant from San Diego ArtsBusXpress! This is the second opportunity our program has experienced these unique virtual workshops this school year. I strong encourage my fellow educators to check out all that these amazing organizations are offering during the Covid-19 pandemic. I’ve included photos of our workshop below. Enjoy! :)
