West Haven High School

As we approach the end of the school year, we are reminding families and students to review basic pedestrian safety practices for walking to and from school. Stay aware, stay safe, and make smart decisions.

Last night we honored the West Haven High School Varsity and Unified Basketball State Champion teams at a special dinner where athletes, coaches, staff, family, and friends gathered to reflect on an incredible season. Special guests Mayor Dorinda Borer and guest speaker Kermit Carolina were in attendance to help celebrate the teams’ achievements. Athletes from both teams received plaques, certificates from the mayor’s office, state championship apparel, and will receive their championship rings once completed. Congratulations again to both teams, this night was well deserved after all your hard work this season 🏀💙
