Mission:

To prepare students for the competitive workforce of the 21st Century, Westside High endeavors to create a safe, vibrant environment where learning is valued, excellence is expected, and improvement is continuous through a spirit of community and cooperation.

Beliefs:

Learning is a lifelong process.  All students can learn.  They must be treated with dignity and respect.  Students also require discipline and direction in order to be successful learners.  Quality education requires a caring environment that offers individuals personal safety, instruction designed to meet their needs, and opportunities for continuous growth and success.  High expectations, recognition, and celebration of success promotes greater achievement and positive self-esteem.  Westside’s cultural, social, and intellectual life are enriched by diversity.  School improvement is an ongoing process that requires testing the effectiveness and efficiency of our current services, evaluating new programs, and continually improving our ability to serve our students and community.
