Many Pathways, One Destination

These photos represent a small portion of the W.F. West High School Class of 2025. This is a wonderful tradition Career & College Advisor Kerri Chaput has with each year's graduating seniors - taking their photos with pennants and logos representing the next steps in their journey. As you can see, these seniors have chosen many pathways, from technical colleges and universities, to military service, apprenticeships or beginning careers.

But did you notice how all of those seniors are standing in front of the Bearcats logo? While their pathways may be different, our current milestone for 100% of them is the same: for the Chehalis School District to have supported and prepared them for the journey ahead.
