A FEW MOMENTS with MCCABE
Longhorns,
It was a phenomenal kickoff to the school year! I hope each of you had an enjoyable first week and an excellent weekend. It was so great to see our students back in the building this past week, and I really felt as if things started to settle in by week's end.
Friday night saw all fall sports take center stage with our annual Red and Blue night. It was great to see so many athletic events, clubs, and activities on display throughout the evening. I want to extend huge thanks to our students, staff, coaches and sponsors for all they did to make the night so successful. In addition, there were so many WPO volunteers and community members hard at work making it a special evening for all. It is truly what being a part of the West High community is all about. Thank you to each of you!
A few updates to begin the week. Most notable, I hope to see many of you at West High's Open House event on Thursday evening at 6:00PM. We will kickoff in the main gym with a brief welcome before opening the building for parents to visit with teachers and classrooms. Please come out for a wonderful and informative evening.
We now enter the last week of August before the long holiday weekend. Let's make it a great week!
Let's Go Longhorns!
