RED & BLUE NIGHT- FRIDAY, AUGUST 23RD
Welcome to Red and Blue Night…A great night when West High showcases its fall sports programs, performance groups, and school spirit.
This is an important opportunity for our team members and the rest of the Longhorn community to support all of the athletic programs and various clubs at Parkway West. We are proud of our dedicated students, athletes, coaches, and parents and look forward to an exciting year of West High Activities. We would like to thank the West Parent Organization (WPO) for sponsoring this event and for their continued support.
The WPO (West Parent Organization) will have a membership table set up to make purchasing your athletic passes easy and convenient. Many other groups and clubs will be participating by selling West spirit attire, food, and souvenirs. We welcome you on campus and hope you will join us by having your Friday night dinner while celebrating all that is West.
