West High is a good school. I met many people and learned more about myself. Of course some things could be better like lunch and having more time for opportunities but I enjoyed learning and making memories there that I will remember.

I think that west high is a good school , we just are underfunded or we spend our money on the wrong things. As a womens soccer player I really beleive that we should have our own feild. We currently are using the jv's football feild which is really bad, there are holes and mud patches everywhere and the lines are funky.
