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! 🌸💐

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? 🤔💬
