- I loved going to West Hopkins. It was the best school, I had such great teachers that I miss dearly.Like Mrs.Hoot, Mrs. Hootie, Mrs.Taybor, Mrs.Teddor, Mr. Straitter. They all worked one on one with us all. I have a learning disability and they helped me conquer it. Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

- I have nothing but great things to say about this school. We have moved to Louisville Ky and the schools here just do not compare. My children can be challenging at times but that never stopped the staff(teachers and office) at WHAS from doing their best to help better them as a student and as a person.We sure do miss the love and passion for making the children all they can be.Thank you!WE MISS YOU.
