Westside is a small school where everyone knows each other. The teachers truly care about students and do their very best to help them succeed. They have had the #1 Air Force Junior ROTC in the state of Arkansas for the past three years and they even had the #1 cadet in the world the year before last. The best weeks at Westside are homecoming because everyone shows their school spirit and comes together as one big Warrior family.

I received a lot of help when I needed it. I was never embarrassed to ask for help and they always explained their lessons to were we could understand them.

I was their for my whole high school career but since I didn't grow up with them it was hard for them to accept me into their little groups. I had a great time once I joined the cheer team and got really involved in JROCT which I loved and wish I could still be in a group like that.
