WELCOME TO WESTERN HILLS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Welcome to Western Hills Elementary School web page! We are a K-6 school that works to build social emotional skills and develop a community to provide unique learning opportunities for all our students and staff. 

In addition to aligning with district and state content standards, the use of interdisciplinary and thematic instruction helps teachers focus on "extra value" standards to increase student success.  Our instruction includes multidisciplinary and multidimensional strategies that provide students with varied avenues to achieve academic and social goals. 

Our extra value standards are: Engagement, Community and Social Emotional Development.

The staff at Western Hills is committed to academic success and providing a safe and secure environment where all students can reach their highest potential and become lifelong learners.
