Our one and only Bulldog Impact Award recipient on the last day of school! Emma is an exemplary student! We are proud of your leadership at WWJH!

Today we were proud to present the Victor Salinas Award — an award created in honor of our incredible Head Custodian, Mr. Victor Salinas.

Mr. Salinas leads with humility, serves with excellence, and cares deeply for the students, staff, and campus of Wylie West Junior High. His work ethic, leadership, and dedication help make WWJH a place where people feel welcomed, supported, and proud to be.

This award recognizes individuals who reflect those same qualities through servant leadership, hard work, kindness, and a commitment to making a positive impact on others.

Congratulations Mrs. Eastman and Mrs. Bearden.

The Rising Star Award recognizes a teacher who has quickly made a meaningful impact through passion, dedication, leadership, and a commitment to students. This award honors an educator who shines brightly in and out of the classroom, builds strong relationships, brings positive energy to campus, and demonstrates excellence beyond their years of experience. Congratulations to this year’s Rising Star Award recipient, Adrienne Gonzales! Your work, passion, and dedication do not go unnoticed. 🌟

Today we celebrate two very special members of the WWJH family as they begin their retirement journey — Mrs. Lillian Jones and Mr. Harold Salmon. 💜💛 Congratulations on your retirement! Thank you for loving and serving WWJH so well. Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog. 🐾

Next school year brings a bittersweet change for our campus as our incredible 5th grade teachers begin new journeys at Wylie South Elementary and Wylie West Intermediate. (And a few we get to keep. 🤗)

It is impossible to fully put into words how much these teachers have meant to our students, families, and staff. They have poured their hearts into teaching, encouraged students through every challenge, celebrated every success, and created classrooms filled with learning, laughter, and love.

Thank you for everything you have given to our school and to the countless students whose lives you have touched. You will always be an important part of our campus family. 💜💛

Cruising back in time with The Outsiders!

Our 8th grade students brought the novel to life today as they dressed as characters from the book and explored classic cars that helped capture the spirit and setting of the story. A huge thank you to everyone who shared their amazing vehicles and helped make literature come alive for our students. “Stay gold,” Bulldogs! ✨
