I love this school. It is much better than being at Cass Tech where the teachers and faculty do not care about you!

I love Western! I am a junior at Western International High School. Over this past school year, I have found out many interesting things about my school. We are ranked among the top Detroit Public Schools in Michigan. Although this is my first year at Western, I really have had a great experience being there. I will never forget Western.
