Here at Westlake we love to celebrate our students!!! We want to recognize when students go above and beyond by being in the school musical, participating in music opportunities such as Jr. District Chorus and Band Fest, competing in the Competitive Academics such as Math Counts and Lego League/Robotics and competing in Sports such as football, wrestling, basketball, volleyball and so many more!

We hold three pep rallies every year to celebrate each season of athletes/participants; my principal advisories decorate lockers and we have Spirit Days and Spirit Weeks all year long!

We love to Celebrate the McDowell Trojans also and the students look forward to McDowell camps, games and events!

WL appreciates all of our coaches and advisors for all they do for our students!

WL also appreciates all of our parents, family members and friends who transport our students to and from practices and games/competitions and who work together to car pool! Your support means the world to us!

And Thank You to All who cheer for our Trojans!!!

Here's to Another Great Year for the Trojans!!! Here's to Another Great Year for the Trojans!!!

Last week we had our first game away at Fairview. Although we did not bring home the win, we learned a ton about momentum and playing disciplined. We will be amazing this week away at Corry!

We did learn that putting in the new goal posts is a much bigger project than originally anticipated, so we will need to wait until this summer for the project to be completed.

Our home games will be at the newly named James Conner Field. Our first home game will be September 30th against Girard.

Thank you to McDowell Varsity Head Football Coach Slocum for providing the opportunity once again for our WL players to stand on the McDowell sidelines during the warmup and watch the game for free in the stands this Thursday 9/17 at 7 pm as we play against the Erie High Royals.

Wear Blue and Cheer on our McDowell Trojans!
