Today, we proudly recognize and honor our three high school principals for their dedication, leadership, and commitment to student success. Their hard work, guidance, and passion for education make a lasting difference in the lives of students, staff, and families every day.

Thank you for the countless ways you lead, inspire, support, and advocate for your school communities. Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom, and we are grateful for all you do to help our students and schools thrive!

Western Middle School recently invited the band 10 Talents in for an assembly.
They rocked the auditorium with the positive message of Don't Hate, Elevate!

🌿💛 The Class of 2029 is making a difference in our community! 💛🌿

The WHS Class of 2029 has been hard at work cleaning up and maintaining the roundabout at McCain & Dearing Roads! 🌱🧹

This area has officially been adopted by the Class of 2029, and our students will be helping to w**d, clean, and keep the area looking its best throughout the year. ❤️💛

Coming soon, a sign will be erected recognizing the students who are helping maintain the area:
✨ “WHS Students – Class of 2029” ✨

This is a fantastic example of Panther Pride, teamwork, and giving back to our community! 🐾

👏 Thank you, Class of 2029, for your hard work and dedication! We are proud of you! ❤️💛

A special thank you to Class Advisors Josh Smith and Sarah Nally for encouraging and supporting our students as they take on this wonderful community service opportunity! 👏❤️💛

Michigan is preparing to launch the new Youth Employment Permit Portal (YEPP), a centralized online system that will modernize the state’s youth employment permit process and make it more convenient and accessible for minors, families and employers.

Beginning Oct. 2, 2026, employers and minors will use YEPP to complete the youth employment permit process through one statewide system.

*Local school districts and nonpublic schools will no longer issue youth employment permits.
