Westside High School

Westside High School is pleased to announce recent graduate, Allison Patsy, as the recipient of the 2023 Shannon Wright and Lynette Thetford scholarship, $1500, as well as the Shannon Wright scholarship, $1000. A member of the ASU scholarship committee for the Shannon Wright and Lynette Thetford scholarship said Allison's application was one of the best they had ever received. Allison is a very conscientious young lady who not only works hard at school but holds down two secular jobs as well. She has plans to become an Instrumental Music teacher and, no doubt, she will accomplish this goal. Congratulations, Allison! It's a great day to be a Warrior!
