Get those smiles ready, Warriors! 😁📸
School pictures are scheduled for next week! See dates below for each grade.
Congratulations to Westside Superintendent, Mr. Scott Gauntt, for being named as the ASPA (Arkansas School Psychology Association) “Administrator of the Year!” This was a true surprise to him and we were able to keep it under wraps so that he had no clue that he was even nominated. He thought he was driving to Conway this morning to present the award to another one of our staff members! Thank you Mr. Gauntt for all you do for the students and staff in our district!!!
Westside Consolidated Schools had the pleasure of hosting State Senator (19th District) and State Representative Dwight Tosh (District 38) on campus this morning. Senator Wallace and Representative Tosh visited Coach Nabors Civics class where they fielded some questions from our students. We also walked them around our building discussing our security updates at the high school and across the district. Thank you both for taking the time to come tour our school and serve your communities!!!
