Hamilton High School West believe that in order to serve the needs of a rapidly growing district, we must prepare our students to be well-rounded individuals who are able to cope with the many complex problems they will face as they enter the 21st century.

In addition to our fundamental task of developing our students to their full academic capacity, we believe that the school should promote and encourage student activities which aim to develop qualities of leadership, responsibility, positive interpersonal relationships, and self-esteem. As a citizen, each student must be prepared to live in and to contribute to our democratic society.

Our motto is "Tradition, Pride, and Excellence".
