HQ AFJROTC has awarded WHS/AFJROTC with the Silver Star Community Service with Excellence Award, recognizing the unit as ranking in the Top 5% nationally for community service hours for the SY 2021-22. This award was given to only 44 of the nearly 900 units around the world.
WHS/AFJROTC cadets averaged just over 31 hours of community service each last school year.
Cadets who contributed most to this award will be recognized when we return to school in August and authorized to wear the Silver Star Community Service Ribbon.
Once again......Warrior Cadets prove to be the BEST of the BEST!

To our wonderful parents of Westside! Thank you so much for all of the interest in Warrior Aftercare/ Summer Care (K-7)! You all are consistently keeping our numbers high with enrollment of your students to our program. We very rarely have openings and when we do, they go fast. We currently have a waitlist that is getting longer every day. We are happy to put your child on the list and can let families know if an opening becomes available. Emails with questions or concerns can be sent to Director of Aftercare, Melissa Moore at mmoore@westsideschools.org
