Principal's Message

On behalf of the entire West End High School community, I’d like to welcome you to our website! Located in Walnut Grove, Alabama, WEHS is one of six high schools in the Etowah County School System. Our mission is to educate and inspire every student to think, learn, and succeed! In pursuit of that mission, we offer a rigorous academic program and a full complement of elective offerings in a supportive and welcoming environment. We have a very proud tradition in our athletics and performing arts programs as well. Our success is a result of the ongoing collaboration between teachers, coaches, parents, and students, as well as the support of our entire school community. I hope that you find our website useful and relevant. If you are considering West End High School and the Etowah County School System for your children, I encourage you to contact us to schedule a tour of our school. If you have any questions about WEHS, please do not hesitate to call or email me – I will be happy to assist.

Thank you, and go Patriots!

Sincerely,

Ron Daugherty Principal

Alabama Comprehensive Assessment Program

Student Device Policy:

Students shall not possess any digital device within the testing room when participating in ACAP testing. The possession of a digital device by students participating in ACAP testing is strictly prohibited during the administration of a test. The ONLY exception to this policy is for students who have been pre-approved by the Building Test Coordinator or the Principal to have a digital device that is necessary for the health and/or well­ being of the student.

If students are in possession of a digital device that is within their reach during the administration of an ACAP test, the device will be confiscated and, if the appropriate administrator determines that there is reasonable suspicion that the device was used to capture, record, or share test information or to facilitate cheating on the test, it may be subject to search pursuant to LEA policy for any information directly related to the ACAP test being administered. Additionally, the student will be dismissed from testing immediately and the test may be invalidated in accordance with ACAP policy.Violation(s) may result in disciplinary action by the LEA in accordance with the LEA's disciplinary policy.
