Happy Secretary's Day to our amazing team!! We couldn't make it without you! 💜💛💜💛




WES would like to congratulate our SRO, Officer Josh Sargent, on being the recipient of the KYASRO Region 6 award. Officer Josh doesn't just protect our students, but is a regular part of their lives. As both a mentor and coach, he helps to foster a safe environment where students feel heard, cared for, and, above all, loved. In the words of Mrs. Rene, our PRI Coordinator, he is both a "difference maker and impactor, that is not only changing the lives of our current students, but also future generations by empowering today's youth to break free from generational poverty and crime."
Congrats again to Officer Josh! 💜💛🖤
