When: Monday, October 28, 2019 – 4:00-5:00pm Where: West High School LMC 

An Expression of Pride and Gratitude
We are all so proud to be a part of this great “Regent community!” We are forever indebted to West High School and the unique experience it provides: a wide array of electives, depth of curriculum, phenomenal arts programs, and an inclusive, supportive community, among many other attributes. Each of us traces our own success to the years we spent in the halls and classrooms of West High School. While we treasure our own history with this amazing place, today’s staff and students face different challenges, including dramatic changes in public funding. As committed friends and alumni of West High School, we invite you to join us in ensuring today’s needs are met, allowing all West High students to experience excellence throughout their high school education. For us, excellence, as well as equitable access to resources, are our greatest priorities.

The Time Has Come to Form a Board of Visitors
To be a part of ensuring those needs are met, we invite you participate in a brainstorming session regarding the creation of a Board of Visitors, modeled after the La Follette High School Board of Visitors formed five years ago. That group, which consists primarily of 20-25 alumni, retired staff and booster club representatives, has now raised over $275,000 on behalf of current Lancer scholars and staff. We can do the same for our Regent family!

Unlocking Potential Through Literacy

Imagine starting a race with your shoes untied. You might stumble, fall behind, or even stop altogether. Now, imagine that race is a child’s education—and literacy is the tied shoe that keeps them moving forward. Literacy is not just about reading books; it is a gateway skill that unlocks doors to education, career opportunities, and lifelong success.

Alumni: Bill Gardner

From walking into a student sit-in on his first day at West High to earning a conference championship in college basketball, Bill Gardner’s journey has been shaped by the strong foundation of his Madison public school education. A 1971 graduate of West, Bill went on to a successful career in civil engineering after earning his degree from UW-Platteville. His deep appreciation for education stems not only from his own experiences but also from his father’s career in the Madison school district. Now retired, Bill reflects on the impact of dedicated educators and remains proud of his Madison roots.
