A Great Place to Learn and Grow
Cinco de Mayo is a special holiday at West Noble schools, and today we celebrated in style. Just at the Primary alone, they had pinatas, paletas and a special taco buffet. Each of the buildings had their own versions of celebration, one which the West Noble community continues to share and embrace!
Turning Point has sent another senior through to graduation! Giovanni Maynard has completed his required coursework at Turning Point and is on the path to graduation at West Noble this June. He still has a few classes to sew up this May, but his Turning Point journey is complete.
He was celebrated this morning among his peers and teachers, and we all wish him well as he aims to "lock in" the final steps of his educational journey!

Many years ago, I learned that 'free food is good food'. So today, I am paying it forward for a year's worth of freebies. Take a read on my first-person experience in the chair at the Fairfield Cosmetology Department as a year-long client of West Noble High School senior Melissa Ledesma. She and several of her classmates have been serving the public all school year, and should at least get consideration for you to join them next year!

They are the fiber of our schools, and we have some great leaders at West Noble. Today we honor our principals: Brian Shepherd at West Noble Primary; Mark Yoder at West Noble Elementary; Ashley Bradley at West Noble Middle and Amanda Nine at West Noble High School for their tireless work to keep our buildings moving and our students learning. Also shoutout to our assistant principals Jennifer Duncan (WNE), Michael Campbell and Gene Teel (WNMS), and Mo Trejo and Michael Reyes (WNHS) who are also on the frontlines each and every day!
They are the super heroes who don't wear capes. We salute our School Lunch Super Heroes at our West Noble Schools, thank you for all you do for our students and staffs!
WN Primary Parents and WN Staff: Due to an accident near Ligonier, power was lost at the Primary building around 1:30 PM. This was about 30 minutes before students lined up for dismissal and buses were already in route to the school. There was enough natural light and water pressure to finish out the school day and send students home at the normal time. However, since we do not know when power will be restored, we are cancelling the first grade graduation program that was scheduled for this evening. I assume we will reschedule that at a later date.
Because of the power outage in Ligonier this afternoon, the West Noble Primary first grade program has been postponed. We will have a new date for the program ASAP.
More celebrating to do with our testing performance this week!
West Noble High School is proud to announce we have five students that have tested out of WIDA this year.
Gaston Bachelard once said: "A special kind of beauty exists which is born in language, of language, and for language." We are celebrating this "special kind of beauty" by recognizing five students who passed their WIDA exam. Britney Coba-Reyes, Erik Delgado, Jessica Miranda-Barrientos, Allison Recendiz-Esparza and Alex Resendez all met their requirements.
The WIDA Exam is a yearly language test given to determine academic proficiency in the English language. The test is extremely difficult, and we are so proud of the hard work of all of our students!

Principal Mark Yoder, along with assistant principal Jennifer Duncan and Brenda Yoder, presented to the WNSC school board the 2026 IRead statistics for WNE and how they correlate to the 2025 results.

Congrats to principal Yoder, his staff and students for making positive strides and continuing West Noble to be a great place to learn and grow!

A huge shoutout this morning to our school bus driver's as part of National School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! In so many cases, they are the first West Noble employees your kids see in the morning, and the last before they get home. Thank you for all you do in keeping our kids safe, in all your travels!
West Noble's high school band and orchestra gathered Monday evening to perform a musical set as part of their spring showcase.
The band and orchestra each played two songs, then came together to finish up with a three-song send-off.
Kudos to music director, Chris Douglas, and the entire ensemble for a very entertaining concert and a job well done!

Our administrative assistants are the lifeblood of our operations at West Noble. Without them, well, let's not think about not having them. They do it all, know it all, and know everyone. Thank you for all you do, we truly appreciate you!
It's been a super fun year for West Noble Primary's Kinderwoods crew, and they shared some of their joy with a very nice-sized crowd Tuesday at the base camp at the Owen House.
The kindergarten classes, taught by Amanda Custer and Isaac Weimer, put together a five-song concert which included the all-time favorites 'I'm Being Eaten By A Boa Constrictor' and 'Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah'.
As per usual this spring, rain shortened the evening as the heavy clouds snuffed out some of the s'mores after party, but this crew of kindergarteners and teachers have been in the elements all school year. No big deal! Bravo to the huge audience for supporting these kids and this unique program for West Noble, and bravo to the kids for their show performance and grit this school year!
