"Without a doubt, the most powerful influences on me at Western have been my teachers. Even more than WHAT I learned; I cherish HOW I learned and WHO taught me. They have unselfishly and passionately poured into me and I am eternally grateful! The faces and memories are too numerous-to pick a favorite leaves out so many... I love them all!"

Carly McNeill, Senior, has attended Western since Kindergarten
