I hated going to that school, When I was younger and first got there I was afraid, afraid to meet new people, afraid to look like an outcast, afraid to look like a loser. I ended up reuniting with a girl I knew years prior and we ended up staying friends all 4 years of high school. The teachers at the school do and will accommodate for the students they have and they are willing to reach out to you after school hours and I appreciated every second I had with my teachers.

I have attended West Jefferson High school since my sophomore year and I can confidently say that becoming a buccaneer was the best decision I've ever made. The teachers actually engage with the students and make everyday learning something new and interesting. Especially our history and science teachers who are the best and cares most deeply for their students. Overall my time here at West Jeff has been very valuable to me and I have met mentors and teachers who will have a lasting impact on my future and I'm grateful for them and the West Jefferson village.

I was a teacher in that school last year. The principal fakes grades to graduate students who did not complete their credits requirements. I provided documents showing changes of grades to the school board and to the superintendent. Nothing happened. The business as usual. The students graduate at a...
