A Message from our Administrators

Dear School Community,

Wow, what a weekend! I want to extend a massive, heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out for our Spring Festival and Silent Auction. Between the laughter, the incredible community spirit, and the slightly competitive bidding wars over those gift baskets and certificates for specials activities, events, or lessons, it was an absolute joy to see our school family together. Your generosity and support mean the world to us and directly benefit our wonderful students.

Now, for the news I’m sure your kids have already reminded you about: Memorial Day weekend is officially here! Please note that our students have an extended break and will not return to school until next Thursday, May 28th. We hope this gives everyone ample time to relax, recharge, and sleep in. Please also be aware that the school office will have limited hours on Tuesday, May 26th.  If you need to register your student for the upcoming year, we encourage you to call and make an appointment with our school registrar.  

When we return, we will have roughly 15 school days left until the official end of the 2025-26 school year. While summer is just around the corner, we aren't crossing the finish line just yet! Our dedicated teachers will keep the learning going right up to the end, though we promise to sprinkle in plenty of fun end-of-year activities along the way.

However you choose to spend these next few days, whether you're firing up the grill, traveling, or happily doing absolutely nothing at all, we hope you have a safe, wonderful, and restful holiday weekend.

See you next Thursday!

Warmly,

Keieownna Hightower, Principal

Eric Kopacz, Assistant Principal

Tri-An-Instrument Day!

Dear Families and Community Members,

The West Springfield High School Tri-M Honor Society is excited to invite you and your children to our upcoming Tri-An-Instrument Day on Saturday, May 23, 2026, from 9:00–11:00 AM at West Springfield High School (Door 4)!

This fun, hands-on event gives children the opportunity to:
• Try different instruments from band and orchestra
• Explore singing and choir activities
• Learn about the art of music in an engaging and welcoming environment
• Meet student musicians from WSHS

Whether your child is already interested in music or simply curious to explore something new, this is a great chance to discover the joy of making music!
