Casey-Westfield Jr-Sr High School

Happy Principals Week to Mr. Sullivan and Mr. McFarland! We are thankful for all you do for our students and staff. It's no easy job and we appreciate you! To celebrate we are giving you a 3 day weekend. Enjoy!

7th Grade Science class finished their cell projects to wrap up the end of the 1st quarter. They have been out on display this week for parent-teacher conferences. Everyone did a great job!

Chemistry I classes completed a lab doing glass bending. This wrapped up the end of their physical and chemical changes unit. Everyone seemed to really enjoy the lab activity.

Callie Wolfe and Emmy Kusterman both received PRs. It was a new experience for several of the kids to run a race in the rain. They all did a great job and we are very proud of them!

The Casey-Westfield Band will be having a ribeye and pork-burger drive-thru on Thursday, October 16th from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on the North side of the High School by the band room.

Chemistry I performed a lab today of mini experiments determining if the end results were a chemical or physical change. As you can see from the pictures they were all having fun but did not want to look at the camera due to embarrassment from the goggles.

The Cross Country teams and High School Track would like the thank the Casey-Westfield Booster Club for their support in helping us to get a tent. When going to meets we have been one of the few and sometimes the only school without one. We really appreciate them helping us to achieve this goal! We have received many compliments and are very proud!

Junior High Cross Country raced at Robinson on Wednesday. It was for sure a hot one! Everyone did a great job but we want to give a shoutout to our PRs for the day Emmy Kusterman and Cyrus Large.
