The Q&A session originally scheduled for Thursday, September 9, will be rolled into our membership meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 14.

The PTSA is holding an informal virtual opportunity for parents and students to ask questions to other parents about WSHS. We’ll provide a few tips for things for parents and students to pay attention to, and then open it up for questions.

After the meeting we will post some of the questions and answers on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/West-Springfield-High-School-PTSA-114572843800821 and our website to help those who couldn’t make the meeting.

The West Springfield High School PTSA is pleased to announce the scholarship winners for 2021.  The winners were selected after a careful review by a PTSA scholarship committee of 7 or 8 people (one was recused for consideration of one scholarship).

The Scholarship for Success is awarded to recognize a senior who has overcome obstacles on the road to either academic or social success and to recognize the growth the student has achieved through his or her high school career.  The students who applied for the Scholarship for Success were truly amazing and all are to be congratulated and proud of their accomplishments.  The two students we are honored to recognize for the Scholarship for Success are Arslan Khan and Sophia Van Nederveen.  

The PTSA also offers the Spartan Scholarship.  The Spartan Scholarship is awarded to recognize graduating seniors who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, school spirit and community service.  The PTSA received many excellent applications this year and all of the applicants demonstrated strong qualities that will take them far.  The two students the PTSA is pleased to award the Spartan Scholarship to for 2021 are Adam Stewart and Alexandra Kowalski.
