Dear Parents and students:
The next week or two starts a new chapter in public education. There is a huge learning curve that students and teachers will be navigating together!!
As we embark on this thing called “distance learning,” we are asking our friends, neighbors and community members to refrain from publicly scrutinizing their children’s teachers/schools/district for the way they are teaching or the lessons they are assigning.
Please offer grace to your child’s teacher(s) and other school personnel. We promise that educating your children is still our #1 priority. ❤️
We are about to navigate unchartered waters with little, to no formal training or prep time. This is a crisis, not a time to be playing armchair quarterback. We love our kids and will be doing our absolute best!
We continue to offer FREE breakfast and lunch at Santana High School
from 10:30-12:30 p.m. each school day with "curbside" service.
Families are welcome to pickup one breakfast and one
from 10:30-12:30 p.m. each school day with "curbside" service.
Families are welcome to pickup one breakfast and one
lunch for each student 18 and under. Students do not need to be with you.
On April 9, additional food will be given to take home due to the
closure for Good Friday on April 10.

We are proud to announce that
Mrs. Tina Westergren (below) is our 2019-20 Grossmont District "Gold Star Volunteer of the Year". Tina has had three students graduate from the Wolf Pack and been involved as a parent on campus since 2008. She has been a pivotal volunteer within the PTSA as the Co-Chair of the Supply Day Drive and the Hospitality Committee. In addition, for many years, she has sold tickets at football games, worked our school dances, been at HOWL Parent nights, staffed School Business Day, volunteered at the Rummage Sales to raise funds for the Senior Scholarship and done so much more! Tina will be honored with other GUHSD volunteers in a special Board awards night on May 1 here at West Hills . Thank you Tina and your entire family for all you do for the Wolf Pack!
PTSA thanks everyone who donate items or funds / gift cards for Supply Day! Teachers and staff really appreciate YOU and thank you for your generosity!
Seniors: If you are a member of PTSA, keep an eye on the Counseling Scholarship page. PTSA sponsors scholarships each year for deserving Seniors but you have to be a PTSA member to apply AND you have to complete the application and turn it in. PTSA membership forms are in the main Admin building in reception.
Did you know that if you shop at smile.amazon.com and choose "whhs PTSA", Amazon will donate a portion of your purchase (at no cost to yourself) to WHHS? smile.amazon.com is the same exact pricing and website as the traditional Amazon url but it allows you to select a non-profit organization for Amazon to support. Please "share" with family and friends and help WHHS!
