My experience at West Hall High School so far can be described as a very unique and very interesting experience. What makes most of my time in high school really fun and enjoyable for me is the fine arts program, I say this because I enjoy being in Theatre and Chorus and those are the classes that are preparing me for my career goals in the future. I wouldn't say there are any worst parts of my experience but I will say I don't really like how things are done under little time and I feel like the school spirit could be a little stronger. Other than that, West Hall High School is has been a great experience for me that opened my eyes to a lot of new possibilities

Although I entered as a Junior I immediately noticed the differences between my old school and West Hall. The best part of my experience are the teachers I had, who were all very supportive and willing to help me out on anything. One thing I would improve is the way administration handles situations.

I have been at West Hall High School since my freshmen year in 2020. I am currently a senior and taking full-dual enrollment due to lack of higher academic choices.

Graduated 2017. It was an alright experience. If you’re doing bad it can be kind of hard to find a support system there but my biggest issue was diversity, it was a pretty annoying divide between Mexicans and Whites as it’s pretty much two schools in one. White kids hang with the white kids, Mexican...
