West Side Story 2.0

You have probably noticed that you are receiving more information from West High School. During registration, we will be sending frequent messages about the courses we offer and opportunities available for our students. Registration is such an important time! This is your student's opportunity to select courses that will help them build their future. Please take time to review their information in Xello, which will include their interest areas and match those interests to careers. Then, take a look at our Registration Hub and find the classes that match their interests.

Please note, student registration drives our staffing, so once registration is over, students will not be able to change their courses. Also, all students need to register for alternate courses. In the event that a course they registered for will not run (courses need 25 student registrations to run next school year), one of their alternates will fill that course registration spot.
