ASVAB Registration- Test September 12, 2024
Students interested in the Military should take the ASVAB. All arms of the military require you take this exam.

The West High custodial crew absolutely killed it this summer! Our building looks great and is ready to go for school. The least we could do is treat them to lunch from Columbia's.
Thank you to our crew!

It was another great year for our Colts athletic programs. There are over 350 public/private high schools in Kentucky. WJHS competes in 18 officially recognized sports. Here is how West High stacks up in 23'-24' against the rest of the state.
- Of the 8 "team" sports- 5 had postseason victories- boys soccer, girls soccer, volleyball, girls basketball, and baseball. 7 of the 8 teams had winning records in the regular season.
- Of the "individual" sports- all, but two, had at least one athlete compete at the state level.
- 4- Region Runners-up- boys cross country, girls soccer, girls track, girls basketball
- 5- Region Champions (final 16 in the state) - cheer, boys soccer, volleyball, girls golf, baseball
- 4- Top 5 finishes in the state- cheer, volleyball, girls track, esports
- State Runner-up in Esports and Unified Bowling
While not officially a KHSAA sport- the West High ultimate frisbee team finished 7th in the NATION at this weekend's tournament.
A strong case can be made that WJHS has one of the most overall competitive and consistently successful athletic programs in the state. That is especially true considering our size (1300 students) compared to some of the other top performers. This success does happen by accident. It is the product of the hard work of our student-athletes, the dedication of our coaches, and the support of our athletic administration and parents.
Thank you to the Class of 2024 for anchoring so many of these successful teams in the last 4 years.
Dead period is June 25th-July 9th...then we run it back! Go Colts!!
