West High School was founded in 1968, and since then has been molded into the school we know today, the #1 high school in Iowa. With the new year bringing in 2024, West turned 56 years old, a moment of celebration for the people that have worked to keep it running as well as its students who have the privilege of a broad education. FOJ students take a closer look at the students and teachers of West High School with this questionnaire; ranging from freshmen to seniors, favorite zoo animal to how many pillows they sleep with, you won’t finish this video bored.
