This is the Physics Egg Lab. Each group was tasked with the objective of protecting an egg. So, in the middle of all that 'stuff' is an egg. After the car traveled down a ramp that was 27 books high (about 0.92 meters) three times, I unwrapped the egg and checked for fractures. They had a limited budget and were allowed to purchase different materials. They were allowed to bring one item from home that fit into a 6 inch x 6 inch area. They had 3 minutes to build their car with bumpers and protection for the egg. They were so innovative with their materials they brought from home. After all of this, they had to calculate speed, kinetic energy and potential energy. This is their final lab in a series of labs where they learned how to do calculations, write labs, understand the cart and how it moved, and measurement. Warrior Work Ethic in full force!

WHS concurrent credit students attended the Scarlet Shirt Freshmen Orientation today at Arkansas State University. Students heard from AState reps, took a campus tour, had lunch in the student union, and were able to get their AState student ID. As always, our Westside Warriors represented our school and community with integrity and respect and we could not be more proud of them. It's always a Great Day to be a Warrior!!!!

Big things are happening at Westside High School! For the first time, Agri-grown produce from our students made its way into the cafeteria. Our Advanced Plant Science students proudly donated fresh cucumbers yesterday alongside Mr. Jamie Moody with Opaa!, our new food service partner this school year.

This milestone represents the start of an exciting partnership — connecting what students grow in class with what gets served on lunch trays. Hands-on learning, healthy food, and Warrior pride all in one. ❤️🤍

On Tuesday, WHS ARJROTC Cadets completed their first food pack of the school year at the Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas. Together, they packed over 16,000 meals for families in need.

What an amazing way to start the year — service, teamwork, and community impact! ❤️🤍

🌟 Learning by Doing 🌟
WHS students in Mrs. Phillips’ 4th block Ag Mechanics class are showing the power of hands-on learning. This week, they assembled new desks for Coach Brown, combining practical skills with community service. The students worked hard, had fun, and made a real difference! ❤️🤍💪

Coach Brannen is keeping our high school students moving and motivated! This week, PE classes are learning how to play Baggo, Pickleball, and Badminton — using our new equipment to stay active while trying out games students are excited about.

We’re proud to offer activities that keep up with student interests and help build lifelong fitness skills! ❤️🤍💪
