West Allis-West Milwaukee School District

Our elementary students created heartfelt signs full of cheers, pride, and words of encouragement for our graduating seniors during senior walks earlier this week. From bright colors to thoughtful messages, each sign reflected the excitement of younger students celebrating the Class of 2026 as they prepare to take their next big step.

A beautiful reminder that our seniors are always cheered on, supported, and celebrated by the students who look up to them. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

Earlier this week, Irving Elementary School - WAWM 2nd graders became weather experts for the day during a special visit from CBS 58 Chief Meteorologist Drew Burgoyne! Students explored the science behind tornadoes, wind speeds, hail, and severe weather safety through engaging, real-world learning experiences. Hands-on lessons and curious minds made for an unforgettable day of discovery, because science is pretty amazing!

And just like that, the 2025–26 school year comes to an end.

Today was filled with hugs, smiles, celebrations, a few tears, and heartfelt goodbyes. Thank you, West Allis-West Milwaukee community, for a wonderful year.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy summer!

Sunshine, smiles, and plenty of fun made for an unforgettable Field Day at General Mitchell Elementary School - WAWM! From exciting games and friendly competition to laughter-filled moments with classmates and staff, students spent the day making memories and celebrating the end of another fantastic school year.

A little rain wasn't going to stop the fun at Walker Elementary School - WAWM Color Run! Students embraced every colorful moment, running, laughing, and making memories as they celebrated together. From bright bursts of color to big smiles all around, it was a fantastic afternoon filled with energy, school spirit, and plenty of fun!

A deal is a deal! Yesterday, Pershing Elementary School - WAWM 5th graders celebrated a well-earned reward for their hard work and dedication during Forward Testing. Earlier this year, students made a deal with their teacher: meet the testing goal, and pies would fly!

Well, the results are in... goal achieved! 🎉

Students had the chance to deliver pies to some willing staff members and even our Superintendent, Dr. Robinson, got in on the fun and took a pie to the face!

We’re incredibly proud of our Pershing students for their focus, perseverance, and commitment to doing their best. What a fun way to celebrate a job well done!

Last week our school community came together to give our West Allis Blue Jays softball team a memorable send-off as they head to the 2026 WIAA State Softball Tournament in Madison!

Today, the #8 Blue Jays take the flied against #1 Hamilton at 4:00 pm with a chance to continue to their incredible postseason run. We couldn't be more proud of this team and all they've accomplished!

Drop a 🥎 or a message of encouragement in the comments and help us cheer on the Blue Jays!

A second group of Nathan Hale High School - WAWM seniors took their final walk through the halls of Walker Elementary School - WAWM and General Mitchell Elementary School - WAWM as part of our Elementary Senior Walks.

These walks were filled with smiles, cheers, and reflection as seniors returned to the schools where their journeys first began. A joyful celebration of growth, memories, and the lasting connections built along the way.

As graduation approaches, students from West Allis Central High School - WAWM returned to where their educational journeys began, taking part in their Elementary Senior Walks at Franklin Elementary School - WAWM, Horace Mann Elementary School - WAWM, and Pershing Elementary School - WAWM.

Lined with cheering students, handmade signs, and plenty of high-fives, these walks were filled with pride, reflection, and celebration. It was a special opportunity for seniors to revisit familiar halls, inspire the next generation, and celebrate just how far they’ve come.
