West Union High School has been a great school to spend the last 4 years in. I feel the teachers and administration do a fairly good job at trying to prepare the students for future/college education. I do think they could improve organization for senior scholarships and have ways to communicate scholarships offers more effectively.

West Union High School is very diverse. Many students feel safe to be themselves, including me. It is easy to feel included in the clubs and activities that go on inside the school.

West Union High School is the place to experience new things and make new friends.
