As we step into 2025, I am filled with confidence and enthusiasm about the remarkable journey that lies ahead! We have an incredible array of events, engaging hands-on projects, and exciting competition opportunities lined up. The second semester is a critical time for many of our students, marking a pivotal moment as they approach graduation. This is not just a milestone; it’s a defining moment that will set each student on their unique post-secondary path.

Thank you for your continued support of our schools, our students, and our community.  Last night, Wayne-Westland voters elected Shannnon Rochon, Frederick Weaver and Andrew Ambrus to serve on the Board of Education beginning January 1, 2025.  

Dear Wayne-Westland Families,

As we progress further into the school year, I’m excited to share some positive updates from across the district. First and foremost, I’m proud to report that our district budget remains in a healthy position. This stability allows us to maintain our focus on our top priority—supporting our students and staff and helping them succeed in the classroom.
