For Your Information

Are you used to wearing tank tops and shorts all Summer long? Well guess what, that’s a bummer because you can't anymore. We’re back in school! Remember the Dress Code!

But that's okay because cardigans are in style. Let's keep our shoulders, belly, and midriffs fully covered.Have your shorts past your fingertips, closer to the knee than the hips. No profanity and no vulgarity.

Follow these simple rules and you'll have one stylish year! -Jauntae Dorton

WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!!

Howdy do? This is your Student Body President Brenden Garrett. I just KNOW that you've been super duper excited for school to start. So here we go with another year of high school. But the kicker? This is probably going to be the best year of high school ever.

Student council has been planning all summer to make the year rock for everyone. Our sports teams have been working their tails off to be the best athletes around. And the girls at Westlake just keep getting prettier.

It's weird to think that I'm already a senior. The years have flown, and I'm about to leave them behind. So seniors, let's make the most of our last chance to shine as high school students. And the younger grades? Just keep doing the best you can so that when you ARE a senior you can look back and say , "Yeah, I 'm awesome." High school will get a little bit rocky sometimes, but just do your best, have fun, and be nice to people. Everyone likes when someone is kind to them. :D Smile, say hi, and go out of your way to make someone else happy. You'll be surprised to discover how happy you become in return. And you never know, you may just end up Student Body President. :)

THUNDERTHUNDER

On a windy Friday night of August 17th, 2012, the Westlake Thunder took on the Provo Bulldogs for the first game of the season. Coming into this game, players from both teams were pumped up and ready to put their skills to the test. �

In the first quarter Thunder's Sophomore Quarterback Gavin Williams threw a 17-yard pass to Austin Fotheringham for the first Thunder touchdown, followed by a 39-yard field goal kick made by Stephen Lifferth, taking the lead over the Bulldogs 7-0. Williams later threw a 21-yard pass to Jed Murri scoring another touchdown for Westlake.

Our defense did a great job! Daniel Nugent and Zachary Baum had some great tackles and performed with vigilance. The Thunder came off with a strong start to the season, taking the victory over Provo 20-12. A great way to kick off the 2012 football season.

Girls Tennis

We’re back in school and we have got lots of fun activities and sports going on!

Girls Tennis faced off against Herriman on August 21, and was very exciting.

I asked some of the players what was going through their head during the game. Most of them said it was a hard game because it was so windy. They also said it was a good day because they had one on one matches, and with every win you had the chance to proceed up to the next level.

We won a lot of matches and lost some, but the girls are confident this is going to be a great year.

Come support Westlake, and join the girls and their tennis skills at the tennis matches.

A New Face At Westlake!

Welcome everyone to a new year at Westlake! A new school year means new clothes, new classes, and new alarm clocks. But, how about a new Assistant Principal? That’s right! We would like to welcome Mr. Chad Wilson as a new Assistant Principal here at Westlake High School.

           In previous years, Mr. Wilson got to work at a variety of different schools. He worked at Lehi High School for 12 years, American Fork High School for 10 years, Brigham Young

University for 2 years, and now we have the opportunity to have him here at Westlake. So far, he has said that this school is very cool and has great teachers. He also mentioned how huge the school is!

            Mr. Wilson is looking forward to getting to know the students, faculty, and community better. So if you see him in the halls or get the chance to meet him, make sure you smile and give him a warm welcome to Westlake!
