West High School is a unique, diverse, and cultured school. Everyday, I think and realize that it is a privilege to attend there, and I am so blessed to be able to attend a school with great teachers, amazing peers, and a roof over my head while I learn. West High School allows for growth and every student should allow for themselves to grow.
