(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I had went to 2 different schools in my freshman year alone. My sophomore year came around and i transfered to west henderson high. West is the best school i could have ever went to, the staff gave the inspiration i needed to succeed along the knowledge and tools to become the person i am today. I thank everyone that is involved with west and urge parents to allow their children to have the same success i had, just send them to west henderson and anything can happen! Dream Big Sky is The Limit!
