2021-2022 Registration Process
Counselors have started to meet with students to discuss their requests for courses regarding the upcoming school year. This initial stage of the registration process will continue through the month of December. West High encourages parents and guardians to have conversations at home with students about their future plans and ideas of courses to pursue.
This coming school year brings many new opportunities for students to pursue college credit courses through WITCC, which are paid by the school district, as well as career pathway courses that may lead to certifications in certain fields of study. We hope that many of our West High Wolverines take advantage of these offerings. Students may inquire more about these opportunities when they meet with their counselors, and families are also invited to contact our counseling department or administrative staff with questions.
Registration for Virtual Students
Students currently enrolled in Virtual School will be invited to a TEAMS meeting during 1A on Tuesday, January 12th to receive more information about how to request courses for the 2021-2022 school year.
