Join us tonight as we celebrate our incredible seniors of the WJHS Girls Basketball team! Tonight we honor the dedication, leadership, and heart these young women have poured into our program over the years. Come out, pack the stands, and help us celebrate these outstanding student-athletes as they play their final home game as Colts!
Let's go!
Kindness Week continues tomorrow with True Blue Tuesday! 💙
We’re focusing on self-compassion, mental health, and understanding your own needs (self-empathy). Sometimes kindness starts with how we treat ourselves — take a breath, give yourself grace, and support one another.
Show your support by wearing ALL BLUE tomorrow and help fill the halls with positivity and encouragement!
🏀 GAME DAY 🏀
The Colts hit the road tonight as our boys basketball team travels to Burgin!
It’s MONDAY and we’ve got a BIG week ahead, Colts! 🐎
We have several athletic events coming up, so make plans to come out, be loud, and cheer on our teams as they compete this week. Your support makes a difference!
It’s also KINDNESS WEEK 🩵❤️
Today’s theme: Team Up for Kindness — we can’t wait to see all the jerseys and team shirts in the halls! Whether you’re repping your favorite sport or a Colts team, remember that kindness is always a winning play.
Today we celebrate National School Resource Officer Day and we are so thankful for our very own Officer Wade at WJHS! 💙
Officer Wade does so much more than keep our building safe. He builds relationships, mentors students, supports staff, and is a positive presence in our hallways every single day. Whether he’s greeting students in the morning, helping during events, or stepping in whenever needed, he truly cares about our school community.
Thank you, Officer Wade, for your dedication, kindness, and commitment to WJHS. We appreciate you today and every day! 💙👮♂️

It's a double header tonight as our boys and girls varsity basketball teams take on the Jags at EJHS. Let's show up and show out and be "Rivals with Respect"! Go West!
Happy Kindness Week - today is our first day and we kick off with the theme "Rivals with Respect"!
Competition is part of who we are at West — whether it’s on the field, on the court, or in the classroom. We play hard. We work hard. We push ourselves to be better every single day. Being a rival doesn’t mean being disrespectful. It means showing empathy, understanding that everyone is giving their best, and choosing integrity even in intense moments. That’s what Rivals with Respect is all about. ❤️💪

Our Focus: EMPATHY – “Walk in Someone Else’s Shoes” 👟
This week is all about slowing down, listening more closely, and truly trying to understand the experiences and feelings of those around us. When we practice empathy, we strengthen our relationships, build trust, and create a school where everyone feels seen and valued.
Each day, we will have a fun theme for everyone to participate in, giving our students and staff meaningful opportunities to practice kindness in action. Throughout the week, we will also recognize kindness in all facets of our lives — in our classrooms, hallways, teams, friendships, families, and community.
Up first - RIVALS WITH RESPECT! Focus on showing that kindness, respect, and connection are strengths—even in competition. #WEareJCS
