West Union High School believes that the high school experience is more than just core classes—it’s about exploring your interests, developing new skills, and preparing for the future. Our elective course offerings provide opportunities to dive into subjects that spark your curiosity, challenge you academically, and help you discover potential career paths.
Fixer Uppers teaches students the fundamentals of home renovation, including carpentry, electrical work, plumbing, and interior design. This hands-on course covers essential skills for remodeling projects, safety procedures, and tool usage. Students will complete small-scale projects and explore career opportunities in construction, real estate, and home improvement.
The Fixer Upper Class has been busy the last couple of weeks learning about deck and pole barn framing.

✨ Attendance Matters – And So Do You! ✨
Every day in school makes a difference. Did you know?
📌 A student is considered chronically absent if they miss 10% or more of the school year – that’s just 2 days a month. Even excused absences add up and can impact learning.
🍂 October is the perfect time for a fresh start! Let’s make this month our strongest one yet for attendance. Building good habits now helps students finish the semester strong.
💡 What families can do:
✔️ Make school attendance a priority – remember our district motto: Strive for 5: Every Day Counts! (Miss no more than 5 days all year).
✔️ Send a written parent/guardian note whenever your child is absent so we can keep records accurate and provide support.
✔️ Reach out if challenges come up – we are here to help.
When your student is here, they are learning, growing, and building their future. Let’s work together, because Every Day Counts! 🌟

Today, we are honored to recognize our very first 2025-2026 Junior High and High School Students of the Month. These students have shown us that success isn’t just about grades. It's about kindness, determination, and the way you lift others up along the way.
This recognition is more than a certificate. It’s a celebration of the quiet moments of effort, the extra mile walked when no one is watching, and the courage it takes to lead with character. Each of these students represents the heart of what it means to be a Dragon, and we couldn’t be prouder.
Congratulations to:
Jase Widdig (7th)
Kyra Storer (8th)
Lexi Taylor (9th)
Stella Rhonemus (10th)
Michael Skinner (11th)
Paige Tolle (12th)
You’ve inspired us all, and we can’t wait to see what more you’ll accomplish. Keep shining, keep striving, and always remember: Go, Dragons! ✨
Students enjoyed a Nacho Party in Ms. Guillermin's class. They earned this reward for completing all of their beginning of the year benchmark testing.
