West Hills Mission Statement

The mission of West Hills High School is to graduate critical thinkers and problem-solvers who contribute

positively to society as productive, responsible citizens.

Quote of the day: “One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.” Maya Angelou

Water Conservation Tip: If placed into gallon bottles, the 168 million gallons of water San Diego imports daily would encircle the earth more than one and a quarter times.

Students if you know of any crime on campus, please call Crime Stoppers at 888-580-tips (8477). You will remain anonymous and can earn up to $1000.00.
