Congratulations to our incredible swimmers who placed at State last Friday! Competing at that level is an achievement in itself — and bringing home placements makes it even more special!
We are so proud of the way you represented WJHS with class, sportsmanship, and heart. ❤️
And a huge well done to all of our swimmers who competed this season. Every lap, every meet, and every personal best contributed to an amazing year for our program.

✈️ WJHS Takes on Boston at Harvard Model Congress!
West students are currently in Boston participating in Harvard Model Congress — the oldest and largest student-run government simulation conference in the United States! HMC gives high school students the opportunity to experience American government firsthand through immersive, hands-on learning. But their trip has been more than just committee sessions and debate! While in Boston, our students have:
📍 Explored history at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum
☕ Reenacted the legendary Boston Tea Party
🏠 Walked through history at Paul Revere House
🍰 Grabbed world-famous cannolis at Mike's Pastry
🎓 Enjoyed dinner and a Q&A session with Kentuckian and Harvard Law School student, Will Randolph
This experience is an incredible opportunity for our students to engage in civic leadership, deepen their understanding of government, and connect classroom learning to real-world history. We are so proud of the way they are representing WJHS — learning, leading, and making memories in one of America’s most historic cities! ❤️

Today is all about twinning — not just in what you wear, but in how you treat others.
When you twin with someone, you reflect each other’s style. Let’s take that a step further and reflect kindness everywhere we go — in the classroom, in the hallway, and especially online.

The Art Club was recently challenged to create a piece of art that transcends itself — something that goes beyond canvas and color to tell a deeper story. After thoughtful discussion, the group knew exactly what they wanted to create: an abstract portrait honoring Mr. Daugherty.
We could not be more honored to dedicate this piece to someone who has made such a lasting impact on our school community, Mr. D!

“Mirror Your Manners: Be Kind, Online & Offline!”
Dress like a twin with a friend and remember — kindness should reflect in everything we do, both in person and online. Let’s focus on digital citizenship, respectful communication, and showing empathy even to those we may never meet. 🌎 Be the example. Be the mirror. Be kind.

“Switch It Up, Lift Them Up: Serve with Kindness Today!”
Today, we’re focusing on showing appreciation to the people who support us every day — our families, friends, teachers, and neighbors — and extending that kindness into our wider community.
Kindness starts close to home. Write a thank-you note. Lend a helping hand without being asked. Say the words “I appreciate you” and mean it. Then, take it a step further — hold the door, offer a compliment, support a local business, or look for a way to serve someone in our community.
When we switch it up and choose to serve others, we truly lift them up.
Let’s show that kindness isn’t just something we talk about — it’s something we live. Gibby says it best!
