Thank you for spending a few moments at the Principals Page.  West Springfield High School is a great place to work and learn.  With a student body of over 1300 and a staff of 160 we are always in a constant state of motion.  I am pleased to announce that West Springfield High School has made AYP and we only continue to improve.

Please take some time to peruse the rest of this website as it contains valuable information pertaining to West Springfield High.  We have a plethora of clubs and activities to personalize the learning environment for our students.  It is my hope that every student can find something to engage in that they enjoy that goes beyond the classroom. 

Our 9th grade house the "Terrier House" allows our new students to acclimate and assimilate into the high school at a slower pace.  This approach has led to better performance by our 9th graders.  Last year the Terrier House was selected as a model program by NEASC!  We will continue to explore new ways for students to have a greater investment in their education in other grades as well.  This year we have instituted a model of teaming in the 10th grade that will build off of the success of Terrier House and provide a scaffold of supports for our sophomore class. 

As always we welcome parents to be a part of the solution.   Please take the time to visit your students homework pages and talk with your children about their coursework.  Every teacher in the high school has a homework page that can be found on this website.  If you have any questions for your childs teacher you can communicate with any staff member here at the high school through email.  Just type in the appropriate teachers last name followed by @wsps.org. 

Thank you

Peter Dufresne
