The second annual Career Fair at West Point Middle/High School brought learning to life as students explored potential career paths and connected with professionals from across the community! 🤝

Students had the opportunity to ask questions, learn about education and training requirements, and gain firsthand experience speaking with adults in a professional environment.

What an amazing event for our students as they start to plan for the future! 🚀

April is Month of the Military Child. We would like to take this opportunity to celebrate military-connected students who bring enthusiasm and leadership to our classrooms. Their commitment to excellence and support for classmates help create a positive learning experience for all.

We are thankful for military families’ ongoing impact on our schools. 💜

We’d like to share some more photos from our amazing Career Fair at West Point Middle/High School! 📸

Students had the chance to explore a wide range of career opportunities. From local businesses to military representatives, participants helped students better understand different career paths, the education and training required, and what their futures could look like.

We are grateful to our community partners for investing in our students and supporting their future success! 🤝

During Financial Literacy Month, schools and families can work together to help students understand the importance of managing money. Building financial confidence early encourages thoughtful decision making in the future.

Encourage kids to ask questions and participate in everyday financial conversations at home. These shared experiences can shape lifelong habits!

West Point Middle/High School recently hosted its second annual Career Fair, and it was a fantastic opportunity for students to connect with their futures! 🚀

Dozens of local businesses, organizations, and military representatives spent time sharing insights about career paths, required training and education, and what students can expect in a variety of professions. Students also gained valuable experience engaging in professional conversations with adults.

Thank you to all of our community partners who made this event possible. Your time and commitment made a tremendous impact on our students! 🙏

On Saturday, March 14, members of the West Point High School Key Club had the wonderful opportunity to visit Three Rivers Health and Rehabilitation Center! 🌸💐

Our volunteers spent the day creating beautiful flower arrangements to brighten the residents’ rooms and bring a little extra joy to their space. It was such a rewarding experience to share smiles, conversations, and creativity with the amazing residents and staff.

Thank you to Three Rivers for welcoming us—we’re grateful for the chance to serve and make a positive impact in our community! 💛

On February 26, 2026, we proudly celebrated the opening of our Youth Art Month Exhibition 🎨✨

What made the evening even more special? Three West Point Middle/High School students took an unexpected opportunity to give back—stepping into the art studio to teach elementary students how to create pinch pots. This beautiful moment of mentorship was completely unplanned and truly inspiring!

The story didn’t end there 💛 After the artwork was fired, the students reunited when the older students personally delivered the finished pieces to the elementary classrooms.

We couldn’t be more proud of their initiative, creativity, and leadership. Moments like these show the true power of art to connect, inspire, and build community. 🌟

Spring is in the air and in the garden! 🌸🌱 The bulbs that the Environmental Club planted in the fall are coming up nicely 🌷✨ We hope to plant spring bulbs soon 🌼

Also, the kale 🥬 and carrots 🥕 have overwintered just fine! The carrots will need a bit more time ⏳ but the kale will be ready to harvest soon 🙌

The Environmental Club plans to plant some fruits 🍓 and veggies 🥒 soon. We were wondering — does anyone from the community have any special requests or suggestions? 🤔💬

🚨 Weather Update – School Closure

Due to the potential for severe weather, West Point Public Schools will be closed tomorrow, Monday, March 16, 2026.
