Good luck to our Archery Colts at the NASSP tournament this weekend!
In Ms. Hawley’s Physics class, students are currently studying circuits and the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
Yesterday they brought the lesson to life with a Van de Graaff generator, exploring how static electricity can transfer from person to person and learning why you sometimes get shocked when touching a light switch in the winter.
It was definitely a **shocking** lesson! ⚡️(See what we did there?)

Yesterday was a phenomenal day for our JAG students!
JAG President Freddy Sanchez and Vice President Jonathan Hammie met with Representative Adam Moore to discuss how JAG (Jobs for America’s Graduates) helps students discover their path after high school.
Freddy and Jonathan shared how JAG has impacted their lives and their future plans. Proud of them for representing our program so well and of Mr. Tyler who truly makes this curriculum meaningful to our students! 👏
They fought so hard! Down 11 at half and as much as 18, they fought back to take the lead and ultimately fell 60-58 to a solid Taylor County team.
We are proud of our Lady Colts! They gave West our first trip to Rupp in 16 years and the first ever for girls basketball.
